Howard University Hospital employee charged with selling patient info

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Dissent

Jim McElhatton reports that Howard University Hospital has disclosed another data breach that appears to be unrelated to the theft of a contractor’s laptop reported in March.

Charging documents filed in federal court in Washington this week say Laurie Napper, a technician in the surgery department, sold patients’ names, addresses, dates of birth and Medicare numbers from August 2010 until December 2011.

Read more on Washington Times, although much of the report is about the laptop incident and not the newest revelation.
