Medical Information Engineering

Profile narrative

Medical Information Engineering, also known as MIE, is a United States‑based company that provides medical information engineering services to healthcare organizations. Its core work involves the collection, storage, and transmission of personal health information, including names, contact details, birth dates, partial Social Security numbers, lab results, medical reports, and diagnoses. MIE serves a range of healthcare clients, such as Concentra, Franciscan St. Francis Health Indianapolis, and Rochester Medical Group. The company also operates a subsidiary named NoMoreClipboard, which focuses on patient intake and data capture solutions. By handling electronic health records and related clinical data, MIE supports the information technology needs of its provider partners. The firm operates within the domestic health‑IT market.

MIE’s distinguishing attribute is its specialization in managing protected health information, which requires adherence to applicable privacy and security standards. The company’s security posture was tested in May 2015 when a network breach exposed the PHI of an undisclosed number of patients across its client base. Following the incident, MIE engaged forensic experts, notified affected healthcare providers, and mailed disclosure letters to patients where addresses were available. Law enforcement was informed, and the company offered two years of complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services to those impacted. The breach response demonstrates MIE’s capability to coordinate incident management, regulatory notification, and patient remediation activities. The incident illustrates the challenges faced by health‑IT firms in safeguarding sensitive data.
