Schneck, formerly known as Jackson County Schneck Memorial Hospital, was sued by the state of Indiana in 2022.
The state alleged that the health system did not take adequate measures to protect patients’ health information, even after it had knowledge of deficiencies in its data security systems since December 2020.
The suit came after Schneck was hit with a ransomware attack that compromised the protected health information of 90,000 individuals.
