Four notes:
1. Heritage Valley Health System filed a lawsuit against Nuance in 2019 over a malware attack that blocked access to the health system’s patient records and files stored on its hard drive.
2. The malware entered Heritage through a Nuance computer connection, and Heritage alleged the company sacrificed “security protections and government oversight” while expanding internationally.
3. The attack caused millions of dollars in damages, according to the report.
4. The U.S. district court judge dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice, which means the health system will not be able to amend the complaint.
