York, Pa.-based WellSpan Health employees may have unintentionally downloaded protected patient health information onto their non-work computers, according to a York Dispatch report.
Employees who accessed their WellSpan email accounts from a computer or devices outside the WellSpan network may have downloaded and saved documents with patient information, though no employees thus far have said they found any such documents or information on their devices, according to the report.
WellSpan spokesperson Barry Sparks said in the report the health system is "optimistic that no HIPAA breaches had occurred."
