Objective: To estimate the relationship between a hospital data breach andhospital quality outcome  Materials and Methods: Hospital data breaches reported to the U.S. Departmentof Health and Human Services breach portal and the Privacy Rights Clearinghousedatabase were merged with the Medicare Hospital Compare data to assemble apanel of non-federal acutecare inpatient hospitals for years 2011 to 2015. Thestudy panel included 2,619 hospitals. Changes in 30-day AMI mortality ratefollowing a hospital data breach were estimated using a multivariate regressionmodel based on a difference-in-differences approach.  Results: A data breach was associated with a 0.338[95% CI, 0.101-0.576]percentage point increase in the 30-day AMI mortality rate in the yearfollowing the breach and a 0.446[95% CI, 0.164-0.729] percentage point increasetwo years after the breach. For comparison, the median 30-day AMI mortalityrate has been decreasing about 0.4 percentage points annually since 2011 due toprogress in care. The magnitude of the breach impact on hospitals' AMImortality rates was comparable to a year's worth historical progress inreducing AMI mortality rates.  Conclusion: Hospital data breaches significantly increased the 30-daymortality rate for AMI. Data breaches may disrupt the processes of care thatrely on health information technology. Financial costs to repair a breach mayalso divert resources away from patient care. Thus breached hospitals shouldcarefully focus investments in security procedures, processes, and healthinformation technology that jointly lead to better data security and improvedpatient outcomes.
