Brad Palmer reports:
Southern Illinois Healthcare is notifying more than 600 patients who might be impacted by a breach of their information.
SIH Privacy Officer Marcia Matthias says it was an isolated incident involving the misdirection of data to other HIPPA-governed [sic] medical facilities by a third party vendor.
SIH has a business relationship with Experian Health, which verifies insurance eligibility during the patient registration process. On April 28, Experian Health notified SIH of a technical error caused by a server migration project, which resulted in the delivery of certain patient insurance information to incorrect medical facilities between February 13 and March 13.
