NYC Health + Hospitals suffered a data security incident that affected the personal and medical information of around 2,174 patients.
NYC Health + Hospital incident involving potentially comprised PHI stemmed from a missing, defective hard drive that was removed from a visual field-testing device at the organization’s Woodhull location.
The hard drive contained PHI, including dates of birth, medical record numbers, and visual field test result.
In order to minimize any potential future compromise of PHI, NYC Health + Hospitals has begun implementing a data removal process for the visual field-testing device to ensure that data is removed on a regular basis.
