Mercy Health discovered that a private server was vulnerable to unauthorized personnel between 2014 and March 25, 2019. The server was used to store patient information and allowed physicians to conduct office check-ins and schedule appointments.
Patient information that may have been exposed included names, addresses, emails, insurance information and dates of birth. A limited number of Social Security numbers and some patient diagnosis information were also potentially accessible.
There is no evidence that information has been misused, Mercy Health reports.
