Courtney Perkes reports:
La Palma Intercommunity Hospital has notified patients that their medical records and personal information may have been illegally viewed by a former employee.
The hospital learned in September 2012 that an employee accessed personal information without permission, including Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, addresses, birth dates and limited medical information, according to a March 21 letter from hospital Chief Financial Officer Alan H. Smith.
Smith wrote that the employee violated multiple hospital policies and was terminated.

So why did it take so long to notify patients???
