[DataBreaches] Henrietta Johnson Medical Center patients affected by breach at Delaware Health Network

[hinoshiba]

The Henrietta Johnson Medical Center in Delaware has posted notice that some patient data was involved in a breach at Delaware Health Network (“DHN”).  DHN is a healthcare-controlled network provider and electronic health records management provider that provides services to Henrietta Johnson Medical Center (“HJMC”) and other entities. According to HJMC’s notice, DHN experienced a “cyber event” that began on April 5. That incident involved unauthorized access to systems and the copying of certain files.  And also according to their notice, to date, DHN has not identified the precise patient data that may have been impacted.  Unsurprisingly, then, HJMC submitted a report to HHS on June 27 that indicated 500 patients were affected, which DataBreaches interprets as a marker for “Hey, we know we have more than 500 patients affected and we have to report within 60 days, so we’re letting you know we had a breach.” Based on the information DHN  provided to HJMC so far, the medical center says that it is possible the patient data involved full name, date of birth, ethnicity, medical record number, diagnosis code, lab information, and health insurance information. DataBreaches has not seen any other DHN clients reporting a breach (yet), but wonders how many of them do not know how many patients were affected, and why DHN can’t tell them that.
