Nebraska Medicine sent a letter recently to patients whose medical information was accessed by an employee who has been fired.
The breach was discovered during an audit of the hospital's medical record system in October. The employee had accessed records outside their job responsibility sometime between July 11, 2018, and Oct. 1, 2019.
Nebraska Medicine said it has no indication that any patient information was misused, but it is offering free one-year credit monitoring.
The information that may have been viewed included name, address, date of birth, medical record number, Social Security number, driver's license number, physician's notes, lab results and clinical information.
Those with questions were instructed to call 1-844-416-6280 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
