An unknown third-party gained unauthorized access to the personal data of nearly 2,000 Lurie Children’s Surgical Foundation patients earlier this year, according to a Tuesday news release from Lurie Children’s Hospital.
The data leak was a result of a security breach at NextGen, a third-party company that provides electronic health billing software for the medical group.
A spokesperson for Lurie Children’s Hospital said in a statement that this was a third-party security breach and the hospital’s systems “weren’t impacted at all.” The company said there is no evidence of access or impact to the health or medical records of the 1,997 patients impacted by the breach, according to the release.
