“The protection of patient information is of the utmost importance and is a responsibility Cabrini takes very seriously. The cyber-security incident reported in today’s Age occurred at the Melbourne Heart Group, a group of specialists who lease rooms at Cabrini Malvern. Data storage and other information systems in specialist suites are owned and managed by the specialists, not by Cabrini. The specialists are not employees of Cabrini. No Cabrini data storage or patient related systems or operations have been impacted or compromised by this incident and there has been no breach of hospital patient data. Cabrini is providing support to Melbourne Heart Group in relation to this incident.”
