According to an Oct. 26 notification on the health system’s website, Hospital Sisters has begun sending letters to patients who may have had their protected health information compromised during the incident.
The letter includes details about assistance the health system is offering for affected patients. The health system did not disclose how many patients could be affected.
The August cybersecurity incident caused the health system to halt collections for outstanding bills and takedown its computer systems.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
