Ocala-based Surgery Center of Mid Florida initially reported the data breach in July. The center discovered unusual activity in its networks in late February and launched a subsequent investigation into the potential leak with the support of third-party data security experts.
Through the investigation, SCOMF confirmed that patient data was compromised as a result of the breach. Affected patient information included names, Social Security numbers, addresses, dates of birth, health information, insurance information and financial account information.
On July 22, SCOMF sent letters to affected patients informing them of the data breach.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
