This just in, a story about how to get exactly the wrong person really, really angry at you, in the FierceHealthIT newsletter piece entitled NIH security breach includes data on U.S. Rep.
Now this must be a little embarrassing for officials at NIH. As it turns out, Rep. Joe Barton (R-TX) was one of 3,000 patients involved in a cardiac MRI study whose records were possibly lost when a laptop computer was stolen from the agency. Not only is the loss of records on a U.S. Representative a faux pas, Barton happens to be a founder of the Congressional Privacy Caucus, which focuses on educating other Congressional offices and staff members on individual privacy issues.
