Breach Description

AdventHealth Medical Group OB/GYN at Woodridge, Illinois, experienced a data security incident that affected 2,001 patients. This incident involved a lost external hard drive used for transferring OB/GYN ultrasound images. The loss of the hard drive was discovered, prompting a comprehensive search for the device and a review to determine the data stored on it. Despite efforts, the hard drive could not be located, and there was no evidence to suggest that the information had been misused. However, the investigation concluded that there was a potential breach of certain unencrypted health information contained on the external hard drive. As a result, on June 20, 2022, it was determined that there was a risk of breach involving patient names, patient identification numbers, birth dates, dates of service, and ultrasound images. In response to this incident, AdventHealth Medical Group OB/GYN at Woodridge has taken steps to assist those potentially impacted and to prevent future occurrences, emphasizing the importance of protecting the privacy and security of information entrusted to them[1].
