Celebs may want to stay away from UCLA for medical treatment.
It looks like the celeb snooping that went on at the University’s medical center was pretty serious!
A new report says that more than 120 workers looked at celebrities’ medical records and other personal information without permission between January 2004 and June 2006 ├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥ nearly double the number initially reported, according to a state report.
The report released Monday by the California Department of Public Health also showed that three UCLA Medical Center staffers continued to spy on records of a “well-known individual” after an April crackdown on snooping.
The report did not identify the celebrity.
State regulators blame the hospital for not taking adequate steps to maintain patient confidentiality.
A state director said, “What’s startling to us is, as we get to a point where we feel we’ve addressed a specific complaint and a specific issue, we identify additional issues. It’s very disturbing to see this.”
Wonder if we’ll be seeing anything new from the UCLA snoops in the tabloids?
