Police log: Laptop stolen at hospital
CARL LINDQUIST -- The York Dispatch
Updated: 11/11/2009 09:45:44 AM EST
An encrypted laptop was stolen from a conference room at York Hospital, according to police and a hospital official.
The Dell laptop was stolen from the Knoch conference room, according to York City Police. An officer took the report at about 2 p.m. on Monday.
Hospital spokesman Barry Sparks said he didn't know whether any confidential patient information was stored on the computer. But he said it was encrypted, which means a user needs a code to access information on the computer.
He said it's common practice for health care workers to encrypt their computers to prevent unauthorized access. Police are investigating the theft.
