Information on Texas Children's Hospital patients was compromised
July 30, 2010, 10:28PM
The confidential health information of about 1,600 patients of Texas Children's Hospital is at risk after a doctor's laptop containing clinical and demographic information was stolen 2½ months
ago.
Notifying letters were mailed to parents of the affected children, cardiology patients of a Baylor College of Medicine doctor who practices at Texas Children's. Such notice is required by state,
federal and international law.
