🔍 Health Department says UnitedHealth can notify 1/3 of Americans of compromised data. But should they? The HHS move allows a transfer of the federally mandated patient notification requirement at the hospital's request. While this news provides much-needed relief to overwhelmed healthcare providers, is it the best strategy to establish trust with patients?
