WSVN reports:
Officials are investigating a South Florida hospital after personal patient information was accessed. Personal information from 1,800 patients were inappropriately accessed by employees at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
Those patients whose personal information was accessed have been notified and offered free credit card fraud protection. JMH said they took quick action to address the issue and the employees have been released from their jobs at JMH.
NBC adds that it is one employee and that the now-former employee accessed patients’ financial information.
I haven’t yet found the hospital’s press release on this.
