Two different groups have recently attacked Interim HealthCare entities. Should other franchises be concerned?

Two Interim HealthCare franchises notified the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services of separate breaches affecting patient data. Interim HealthCare of West Texas reported 2,071 affected patients, while the Amarillo franchise reported 666 affected patients.

Why it matters: Home health agency operators and franchisees need to assess their own breach notification procedures and patient data protections, as multiple Interim HealthCare entities experienced attacks, raising questions about systemic vulnerabilities across the franchise network.
