Long and detailed projections of custodial care have come out right after CMS mandated staffing increases without offsetting increases in reimbursements. These are custodial nursing homes, distinguished from assisted living facilities. While long and detailed, the report draws several conclusions about the future of assisted living, nursing care, and custodial nursing and is worth reading. According to the American Health Care Association, assisted living and custodial care employ 298,000 nurses.

According to a 2023 survey, only 24% of organizations conduct annual training. This does not reflect overall organizational HIPAA oversight, just staff training initiatives. Also not mentioned in the article is the source of the actual HIPAA breaches. It appears they stem from IT security faults. ![Untitled (8)](https://challengercme.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Untitled%20(8).png?upscale=true&upscale=true&width=1000&height=456&name=Untitled%20(8).png) (source: [Healthcare Data Breach Statistics](https://www.hipaajournal.com/healthcare-data-breach-statistics/?utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_KXbIz2ZkVT7zEGfS1eeKDolYtNW7rRh5ycapDunaabCqEgZNYQaQxBXKLAqXC5qb1u_4-), also from HIPAA Journal) Guess it’s easier to go after nurses and other practice employees than giant healthcare organizations.
