PENSACOLA, Fla. — Officials at Pensacola Naval Hospital are warning patients to monitor their financial records after a computer went missing.
Hospital officials reported that the computer had personal information on 38,000 patients who used the hospital’s pharmacy in the past year. The laptop did not contain patient medical records, but it had disability ratings and spouse information for some patients.
Hospital commander Capt. Maryalice Morro says there is no evidence the information has fallen into malicious hands and may have been disposed of. Still, officials began sending notification letters Wednesday to all the patients who have been affected. The letters will be mailed out over several days.
The laptop disappeared last month.
