Full breach record for MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM →7 incidents on file

Memorial Healthcare System (FL) reported to HHS on 2014-10-31 an Unauthorized Access/Disclosure affecting 1,782 individuals via Email. An employee sent a group email to current and former patients for a cancer awareness event but failed to mask recipients' email addresses, exposing names and an implicit indication of possible cancer treatment. The CE recalled the email, investigated immediately, notified HHS/patients/media, established a call center, counseled the involved employee, and revised its privacy program in March and September 2015.
