So first Inspira Medical Center Vineland said a computer had been stolen on December 23 and they were evaluating whether it had any patient data on it.
Three days later, they said it had no patient data on it.
Now three weeks later, they announce that a former employee was arrested in connection with the theft on December 30, and confessed to stealing that computer and another tower that wasn’t even reported as missing. Both the computer and tower were returned to the hospital.
And… wait for it…
When contacted Friday, another spokesman reiterated Inspira does not believe the stolen equipment contained patient information. “We are still reviewing to confirm that is correct,” spokesman Paul Simon said.
So they still aren’t sure? And they’re not sure how they didn’t know another computer tower was missing?
Someone has a lot of explaining to do. And preferably to OCR.
