The face sheets were for patients who had surgeries scheduled between Oct. 3, 2011 and Aug. 7, 2014. The employee did not have authorized access to the EMR.
The hospital first learned of the data breach after the Tampa Police alerted the hospital that someone they had arrested who was unrelated to the hospital had four of these face sheets with him, according to the report. An internal investigation identified the unauthorized access by the hospital employee. The employee has been fired.
