In this week's McKnight's Long-Term Care News, a warning was issued about Worker data under threat: Another concern for providers desperate for staff.

With many providers using third-party staffing agencies, the article reiterated our warning to clients. "Prime Care Technologies, an IT firm that offers cybersecurity services to long-term care clients, reported earlier this year that some two-thirds of breaches are now vendor-related."
