Omni Healthcare provides services to healthcare organizations in support of their health care operations. In order to provide these services, Omni Healthcare needs access to certain information which healthcare organizations provide to Omni Healthcare. Unfortunately, Omni Healthcare recently suffered a data incident that may affect the privacy of certain information provided by those healthcare providers to Omni Healthcare.
On January 19, 2024, Omni Healthcare experienced a network disruption. Upon discovery, we immediately isolated our network and third-party specialists were engaged to investigate the incident. Our investigation determined that an unknown third-party accessed or acquired certain information on our network between January 18, 2024, and January 19, 2024. Therefore, we reviewed the information to determine the type of information potentially involved and to whom it related. The information varied by individual but may include: patient names, contact information, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, diagnosis & treatment information, medical record numbers, treatment costs, and provider names.
Omni Healthcare has taken steps to address the incident and we are committed to protecting the information entrusted to us.
