NY: Laptops stolen from Albany doctor's office

Posted on January 28, 2012 by Dissent

Cathleen F. Crowley reports:

A burglar stole two laptops from a doctor’s office last week, and with them, records of about 640 patients, according to Oldendorf Medical Services.

Staff at Oldendorf, located at 1365 Washington Ave., Suite 100, discovered the theft on Jan. 18. The previous night, a thief picked the locks and entered the office.

The stolen laptops had been used for two cardiac tests. One was a pulse volume recording “PVR” and the other was an endothelial peripheral arterial tone, or “endopat.” Both tests are used to detect coronary atherosclerosis.

The laptops contained minimal clinical information, but did include some social security numbers and demographic information, according to the office.
