State report released on UCLA snooping

Quote:
California health regulators have connected 14 more people affiliated with UCLA Medical Center, including four physicians, to the improper viewing of celebrity medical records, bringing the number of current and former workers apparently implicated in the snooping scandal to 68.

The additional violations came to light in a report by the California Department of Public Health, which was sent to the hospital Friday. The findings are the latest to stem from reports in The Times about UCLA employees' prying into records of celebrities and co-workers. The regulators faulted UCLA for failure to maintain patient confidentiality and report the breaches to regulators.

The key findings relate to the activities of Lawanda J. Jackson, a longtime administrative specialist who allegedly pried into the medical records of 61 patients, including celebrities and co-workers.

According to the new report, Jackson reviewed the records of actress Farrah Fawcett on 104 days between July 1, 2006, and May 21, 2007.
