Officials: 2 ex-Florida Hospital employees stole, sold patient records

Posted on March 6, 2018 by Dissent

Jeff Deal and Jason Kelly report:

Federal investigators said two former Florida Hospital employees stole and sold an unknown number of patient records.

The hospital said it wouldn’t comment on the allegations because of a pending lawsuit, but Channel 9’s Jeff Deal uncovered a civil lawsuit against the hospital, which is separate from the criminal case, that claims at least 9,000 patients were affected by a data breach.

Two specialists hired to release patients’ personal information for medical and business needs are accused of stealing and selling that information.
