The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences is investigating a breach of patient information after a document wasn't properly redacted.According to a release from UAMS, the investigation began after an unidentified physician sent financial information on a patient to someone outside the UAMS offices in mid-February. The physician failed to remove all identifiers of the patients, such as names, account numbers and dates of service, among others. Bank card, credit card or bank account numbers were not included in the released information.
