Memorial Hospital at Gulfport has faced an inadvertent disclosure of information of 1,500 patients.
It included patient names and internal (Memorial) encounter numbers, that was discovered during a routine internal audit.
No financial information, Social Security numbers, diagnoses, symptoms, or other demographic information was disclosed.
The disclosure occurred in connection with the transmission of information within the hospital that was inadvertently sent to a single, external email address as a result of a clerical input error.
The error was immediately corrected upon discovery.
Now the information sent by email was encrypted and would require a unique password to open.
