Carle health system suffered from a data breach incident due to a vendor error in August 2016.
The compromised file included information like patients’ names, medical record numbers, dates of service, reasons for visits, names of physicians, Carle account numbers, and diagnosis and treatment codes.
No social security numbers and financial information were included in the files.
Carle health investigated the incident and asked vendors to re-enforce education regarding the secure transfer of patient information.
