Posted on August 28, 2012 by Dissent

Jill Disis reports:

Information on 55,000 patients and employees at an Indianapolis-based cancer center practice is missing.

A spokesman for Cancer Care Group, 6100 W. 96th St., confirmed today that someone stole a computer bag belonging to a Cancer Care Group employee on July 19.

The bag contained information such as names, birth dates, social security numbers, insurance information and addresses.

At the time of this posting, the incident is not up on HHS’s breach tool. An article in the Indianapolis Business Journal states that the bag was stolen from an employee’s locked, but unattended vehicle. According to the group’s statement:

The bag contained the “Cancer Care Group’s computer server’s back-up media, which contained some patient demographic information, such as name, address, date of birth, Social Security number, medical record number, insurance information, and/or minimal clinical information used for billing purposes only,” the group said.

The bag also reportedly contained similar information about the group’s employees.
