Full breach record for Spectrum Health System →

The CE notified affected individuals and media, posted substitute notice, and established a call center. Corrective actions included mobile device encryption policies, camera removal ban, and a 2018–2019 enterprise-wide risk analysis. OCR obtained documented assurances of compliance.
