Medical Oncology Hematology Consultants

Medical Oncology Hematology Consultants (MOHC) operates as a medical practice focused on oncology and hematology services. The organization provides diagnostic evaluation, treatment planning, and ongoing care for patients with cancer and blood disorders. Based in Delaware, it serves individuals primarily within the state and surrounding regions. As a specialty clinic, MOHC concentrates on delivering consultative expertise in medical oncology and hematology to support both patients and referring physicians. The practice emphasizes evidence‑based approaches to chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and supportive care. Its services are tailored to adult populations requiring specialized oncology and hematologic management.

In June 2017, MOHC experienced a ransomware attack that affected over 19,000 patients whose records were stored in the practice’s systems. The intrusion was identified approximately three weeks after it initially began, prompting an immediate internal investigation. Investigators found no evidence that protected health information had been accessed or exfiltrated during the incident. In response, the organization enacted a comprehensive incident response plan that included securing affected systems and restoring data from backups. MOHC promptly notified all affected individuals and reported the breach to relevant regulatory authorities, underscoring its commitment to transparency. The practice also implemented additional security measures to reduce the likelihood of similar events in the future. This episode highlighted the organization’s focus on safeguarding patient information while maintaining continuity of clinical care.
