Dignity Health

Dominican Hospital, part of Dignity Health, accedentially suffered from a data breach incident in August 2016.

The attack compromised the name, account number, admission date, length of stay, total charges, unit they were seen in, room number they were seen in, and insurance carrier name.

The health plan that received the transmission has been cooperating with the hospital and expected to provide an attestation that the errant data was destroyed.

Dominican Hospital took action and provided traning sessions to their staff and took disciplinary action.
