Hospital sues former employee over information breach

Healthcare Security Weekly, July 16, 2007

An Ohio hospital is suing a former employee, alleging that she took confidential information about hospital donors with her when she resigned from the facility in April, reported the Akron Beacon Journal.

 

Akron Children's Hospital filed the lawsuit against the facility's former director who was in charge of hospital donations. The hospital charges that she downloaded donor information, along with confidential and proprietary information, the newspaper reported.

 

In court papers, the hospital says it has asked for return of the information and contends the ex-employee has threatened to use the information for her own competitive advantage.
