Healthcare Institutions: Don’t Let This Happen to You:A New York Times reporter recently wrote about a Nevada woman who bought a used PC for $159, only to later discover that it held over 2,000 confidential patient records from an Arizona pharmacy. These records included patient names, addresses and social security numbers, plus a list of their medications pointing to conditions like AIDS, depression and alcoholism.
