Data Security Concerns

🔓In 2013, an unauthorized individual hacked into Patterson's server which compromised the electronic protected health information of approximately 6,400 individuals. 

📅The exposed data included names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, payment information, and treatment details of the patients. 

💰This raised concerns about Patterson's lack on adequate investment in data security measures.
