HHS, GAO criticized over privacy report





Last week, the Government Accountability Office issued a mild rebuke to HHS over its handling of privacy and security issues while the department leads the federal effort to promote development of a national healthcare information network.


Reaction to the GAO report within the privacy community was far more strident. In fact, both HHS and the GAO were zinged with criticism.


The 52-page GAO report, issued Thursday, was the focus of discussion the following day in Washington at a meeting of the Senate subcommittee on federal government management, the federal workforce and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
