Upon completing an investigation, OPMT determined that the breach resulted in an unauthorized party accessing confidential patient information. 

On March 24, OPMT learned about the cyberattack and reviewed the compromised files to determine what information was leaked and which consumers were impacted

OPMT has yet to confirm the types of patient information compromised. 

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.
