You'd think that, but... SolarWinds

I'd think it specifically of doctors who specialize in human bodies, not computer stuff. SolarWinds on the other hand could not possibly be excused for ignorance.

One of my first jobs out of college was working at a medical school. Doctors in general think computers are magic and that compared to their actual medical expertise programming is easy. I neither expect nor, to be honest, want them worrying about computer stuff. I won't try to tell them how to cure sick people.
Harsh fines are probably the best way to make doctors care though. If they know they risk financial ruin for not securing their records, they'll have a strong personal incentive to remediate their ignorance.
