Nashville, TN. (PRWEB) April 15, 2008 -- Data protection and identity theft response leader Kroll Fraud Solutions and HIMSS Analytics will host two webinars based on the findings of a new study that addresses patient data safety in the United States.

A panel of healthcare and patient data security risk experts will review the report's key findings and offer expert advice on how to fight back against one of the industry's biggest threats.
