A former Broward Health Medical Center employee took documents containing the personal information of nearly 1,000 patients in a data breach uncovered by local and federal officials, the Fort Lauderdale health system announced Friday. Some 960 patients, treated between October and December 2012 at Broward Healths main facility, 1600 S. Andrews Ave., will receive letters alerting them that their registration documents had been inappropriately removed. Known as face sheets, the records contained basic information, including a patients name, address, date of birth, insurance policy numbers and reason for visit, according to an online Patient Notice published on the Broward Health website.
