The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences says medical records involving about 1,500 patients have been improperly disclosed, but no financial records were released.<\/p>\n
The medical school in Little Rock said Monday the breach occurred in 2010 and involved documents were given to a lawyer by a resident physician who was terminated.<\/p>\n
UAMS says the former resident kept some patient lists and notes after leaving UAMS. The information included patient names, ages and treatment-related data.<\/p>\n
Patients are being notified by UAMS. The school says it became aware of the breach in October during a lawsuit filed by the resident. UAMS says a court order now prevents the records from being used or disclosed.<\/p>\n
In April, the university disclosed that data from 7,000 patients had been disclosed in a separate breach.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
