Saber Healthcare

Saber Healthcare, a nursing home operator, and Buchalter, a law firm, have announced data breaches affecting their systems. The disclosures were reported by HIPAA Journal, suggesting patient and client information may be exposed. Details on the number of people affected and the nature of the incidents have not been made clear, and both organisations are expected to notify individuals as required by health privacy and breach notification rules.

Law firm Edelson Lechtzin LLP says it is investigating potential class action claims against Saber Healthcare Group after a data breach exposed patient information. The firm is examining whether the company failed to adequately protect personal and medical data, and affected patients may pursue legal claims over the exposure of their private health information.
