Terese A. Mosher Beluris was quoted in the May issue of Healthcare Risk Management in an article entitled, "13 Hospital Workers Fired for Snooping in Britney Spears' Medical Records." The article discusses concerns associated with privacy breaches within the healthcare system. "The same mandates that require hospitals to store patients' files electronically in order to facilitate patient care also enable any person entitled to access a file to post it on MySpace in an instant," Ms. Beluris said. "Would Pentagon-level technology limit the risk? Perhaps," she added. "However, no hospital I know has a Pentagon-sized budget."
