Data Breach Affects 32,000 Patients

Health Data Management reported a data breach by one of the contractors that Cogent Healthcare, a firm that manages practice data for hospitalists and intensivists, uses.  You can read the article at the HDM website. M2ComSys, a firm for medical transcription, was not storing data on a secure site.  The patient care notes were breached between May 5 and June 24.  Some of the care notes were indexed by Google.

Google has worked with Cogent Healthcare to remove all of the protected health information.  Cogent Healthcare has terminated the contract with M2ComSys.  It is also offering 1-year identity theft protection to the 32,000 patients whose data were compromised.
