Indiana’s attorney general has decided to drop a lawsuit against the state’s largest hospital system, which accused them of violating patient privacy laws. The lawsuit stemmed from a case involving a 10-year-old Ohio girl who had traveled to Indiana for an abortion.
The lawsuit, filed last year, alleged that the hospital system, Indiana University Health and IU Healthcare Associates, had violated HIPAA and state privacy laws by not protecting the girl's information. However, it was later clarified that no personally identifiable information was shared by the doctor involved.
