A laptop stolen from a hotel in Chicago contains 890 patient records from Oregon Health & Science University. The laptop's owner, an employee of OHSU, was staying at the hotel on business. OHSU is notifying the patients of the loss of their personal data.
"OHSU said the data is password-protected and may have been deleted before the theft.
It said the data could include medical record numbers, names, telephone numbers, dates of birth, gender, medical diagnosis category and category of treatment - but not the specific treatments, Social Security numbers or addresses."
