Following the Sept. 9 incident, UCSF officials launched an investigation to determine the contents of the laptop. Once the university discovered patient information had been stored on the laptop, authorities were notified and letters went out to affected patients, according to a university statement. Paper documents for 31 patients were stolen along with the laptop, and those patients have been notified as well.
Hospital officials do not believe any of the patient information has been improperly accessed or used.
