Community Hospital in McCook has told nearly 4,200 former patients that their identity information was contained on a laptop computer that was stolen in December. Hospital officials say the laptop belonged to an employee of the hospitals auditing company, Seim Johnson, of Omaha, and that it was stolen in Nashville, Tennessee. The hospital says Seim Johnsons subsequent investigation couldnt confirm that the laptops encryption software was functioning. The hospitals health information manager, Rachel Berry, says the hospital is not aware of any activity that would make us believe the information has actually been accessed or viewed. On Thursday Berry said all of the former patients notified are receiving a free year of identity monitoring. (English)
