What happened
A proposed class action against Geisinger Health and Nuance Communications, Inc., apparently concerning a data security incident involving patient information. The lawsuit appears to involve claims related to a data breach or privacy violation, and it is docketed as a contract action. These are allegations in a newly filed case, not proven facts and not yet a settlement.
