A month after 13 UCLA employees read without permission Britney Spears’ medical files and were fired, another employee tried to see medical files of Farrah Fawcett, which were supposed to be confidential. He had no authorization to see those files. As a result, he was fired.

Officer Carole A. Klove, the hospital’s chief compliance, claimed that there wasn’t any evidence that the employee shared that information which was supposed to be secret with anyone.

However, Farrah Fawcett’s attorney emphasized the fact that the man had no authorization to look at the private medical information of a TV star.

Violations of personal information expose UCLA to state sanctions. The Medical Center's image could be affected if these breaches continue.

State and hospital officials said that the employee has attempted to access personal medical information of other patients as well. Even though they weren’t stars, or public figures, and the employee hasn’t showed it to tabloids, this should be a subject of concern for hospital’s officials.

“It's not a question of will we take action,” Kim Belshé, secretary of the state's Health and Human Services Agency said for Los Angeles Times. “It's determining what level of action to take.”

Dr. David Feinberg, chief executive of the UCLA Hospital System, publicly apologized for the breaches in an interview.

“This person should not have been looking at those records,” he said.

Feinberg claimed that UCLA would work with the state Department of Public Health in its investigations. He said they are reconsidering whether to notify the patients. Any other names weren’t revealed because the hospital has rules concerning patient confidentiality.
