“December 19, 2022 - Georgia-based Emory Healthcare reported a healthcare data breach that impacted more than 1,000 individuals and potentially exposed protected health information (PHI). Through a notice from the United States Department of Labor (DOL), Emory Healthcare became aware of an employee inappropriately accessing at least 1,600 patient records between December 2020 and December 2021.“
“The potentially impacted demographic information included names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers. Investigators found no evidence that any medical histories, tests, laboratory results, diagnosis and treatment plans, or insurance information were compromised.“
“During the investigation, Emory Healthcare stated it has “fully cooperated with law enforcement during the investigation, arrest, and prosecution of individuals involved in the matter and will continue to do so as the case moves forward. EHC followed the instructions of the DOJ regarding the timing of this notification and is now notifying patients whose information is believed to have been involved in this incident and for whom EHC had last known addresses.”“
