Redwood Memorial Hospital notified 1,039 patients after missing a thumb drive that contained their identifiable information.
The drive included information including first and last name; facility name and address where services were rendered; ID and medical record numbers; date of birth; gender; operator/technician name; physician name; report ID#; test indications; age; height; weight; test recording and analysis dates and times; and clinical summary of test findings.
