The Privacy office was notified that a clinic in module 1 was broken into over the past weekend. A VA employee found bed sheets, gowns, toothbrushes, and office supplies scattered throughout the room. In addition to the exam room, the intruder pried open locks at the clerical station in Module 1. Encounter forms and patient information were scattered throughout the desk area. It has not been determined if patient information was at risk. Several medication carts in the exam room were opened and needles, syringes, medications, scalpels, and a long list of medical items were noted as missing. (English)
