\n

Community Health Network<\/a> is notifying patients of a possible data breach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The hospital system discovered third-party tracking technologies on some of its websites, including the MyChart patient portal, and on some of its appointment scheduling sites.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Community claims it immediately began working with its service providers to disable and remove the tracking technologies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

The information that might have been transmitted through the third-party tracking includes: computer IP address; dates, times, and\/or locations of scheduled appointments; health care provider information; type of appointment or procedure scheduled. The breach could also include communications made through MyChart, which might include first and last name and medical record number; information about insurance coverage; and the name of any MyChart account proxy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Community said the data breach did not seem to include Social Security numbers, financial account numbers or debit\/credit card information.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Potentially impacted patients will receive a letter from Community about what happened, actions Community has taken and what actions patients can take to help protect themselves from website tracking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
