According to Children's Minnesota, the investigation uncovered that the incident involved "limited patient information" that the Children's Minnesota Foundation received in connection with its fundraising information. The information includes: full names, addresses, phone numbers, age, dates of birth, gender, medical record numbers, dates of treatment, locations of treatment, names of treating clinicians and health insurance status.The company says financial accounts, credit card information and Social Security numbers were not in the Blackbaud database. Children's Minnesota added that the incident did not involve any access to medical systems or electronic health records.While Blackbaud says it has no reason to believe any data was or will be misused, Children's Minnesota recommends patients review any statements they receive from their healthcare providers.
