Another data breach involving NYU School of Medicine?
By Dissent, September 13, 2010

The NYU School of Medicine Aging and Dementia Clinical Research Center 
informed HHS last week about a data breach that reportedly occurred on or 
about April 3 when a portable electronic device containing protected 
health information on 1,200 patients was lost.

I cannot find any information on their site about this incident at this 
time so I have no further details or knowledge as to what types of 
information were on the device or how it was lost, but this is the second 
breach reported by the medical center to HHS in recent months.
