Northeast Radiology said the breach first occurred back in January, with “unauthorized” individuals gaining access to 29 patients’ personal information. 

“Having a common service for the radiology departments in the region simplifies our everyday operations and enables more efficient diagnostics. Sectra’s experience in delivering similar services was important for us when choosing a vendor,” says Inger Hallin, Head of the Radiology Department, Region Halland.

Their ultimate goal is to pilot solutions that prioritize time spent with patients, rather than cumbersome tasks tied to the EHR, the partners said.
