The UCLA Health System has notified more than 16,000 patients of the theft of their PHI during a home invasion of a former employee. The PHI was contained on an external computer hard drive and although the information was encrypted, the password, which was written on a piece of paper near the hard drive, is also missing. The stolen information included names, addresses, and health information, however it did not include social security numbers or financial information.
