Santa Fe Family Health Center says patient information stolen (updated)

Posted on September 13, 2014 by Dissent

Bruce Krasnow reports:

One of the busiest medical clinics in Santa Fe has reported a security breach affecting patients who were treated at Santa Fe Family Health Center during two weeks in July.

The clinic, 2801 Rodeo Road, released a statement Friday afternoon saying the breach occurred July 14 for patients who had office visits between June 30 and July 13.

“We are sorry to report to you that on July 14, Santa Fe Medical Group became aware of a breach to your personal health information,” the company said in a statement.

An unidentified man entered the clinic at about 3 a.m. July 14, according to the statement.

“There was a theft of voice-recorded files from the providers, as well as cash and checks taken from the safe of Santa Fe Family Health. No credit card information was stolen,” the clinic said.

The clinic is owned by Atrinea Health, a company founded by Dr. Philip Briggs, a physician who started practicing in Santa Fe and has since opened offices statewide.

There is no notice on the clinic’s web site at the time of this posting.  I’m curious as to how the man was able to get checks from the safe. Was the safe locked, and if so, how did the man get into it? And why steal voice-recorded files?

Update: This breach was added to HHS’s breach tool in November. According to their submission to HHS, 843 patients were affected.
