IN: Hospital Security Breach Puts St. Vincent's Patients' Records At Risk

Posted on January 13, 2011 by Dissent

A security breach at St. Vincent Indianapolis Hospital may have put the records of 1,800 patients at risk.

Hospital officials said they learned in November that certain associate e-mail accounts were breached, which may have allowed patient names, dates of service and certain clinical information to be accessed.

Those patients were sent a letter from hospital officials informing them of actions by a third party to inappropriately obtain e-mail log-ins.

Read more on The Indy Channel. I do not find any notification on the hospital’s web site as of the time of this posting.

In September, the hospital reported that a laptop stolen in July contained patient information on 1,199 patients.

In 2007, St. Vincent had another breach when its subcontractor, Verus, did not reinstall a firewall after an update to its online payment system. In that breach, 51,000 patients were notified of the possible exposure of their information.
