Stolen laptop contained no identifying patient information http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061005/BUSINESS/61005013 A private investigation has determined that a laptop taken from Vassar Brothers Medical Center did not contain any personally identifying patient information, center officials said. Vassar Brothers hired Kroll, an international risk consulting company based in New York City, to investigate the contents of the laptop. Kroll's Web site says it has a division that specializes in computer forensics. After the theft was discovered in June, the center did its own internal investigation and, based on that, mailed notices to 257,800 patients whose personal data - including Social Security number, address, date of birth and name - officials believed was compromised.
