On Nov. 3, the ASC detected unusual activity in an employee’s email account, according to a June 26 press release.
The ASC took steps to secure the account and engaged a digital forensics team to conduct an investigation that determined certain files stored within email accounts were accessed between Oct. 23 and Nov. 3.
Potentially affected information includes individuals’ names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license or state identification numbers, dates of birth, medical information, including diagnosis information, treatment information, and prescription information, and health insurance information, including claim information and health insurance ID numbers and financial account information.
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.
