DETROIT – For the second time in as many months, there’s another data breach exposing the information of Corewell Health patients.
This time it involves HealthEC, a Corewell vendor whose stated mission is to “identify high-risk patients, close gaps in care and recognize barriers to optimal care”.
It’s separate from the breach announced in November, which involved a different Corewell vendor called Welltok.
