According to the report, TriHealth learned that one of its vendors suffered a data security incident on Oct. 23. The incident resulted in an unauthorized party being able to access older documents related to “For Women,” a formerly independent OB-GYN group that TriHealth acquired in 2020. 

The unauthorized party did not access TriHealth’s computer or records created since the acquisition of the group, but an investigation discovered the hackers did access confidential patient information. Breached information may include names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, claims information and medical information.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
