After the UCLA Medical Center scandal, when 127 workers read without permission celebrity medical records, including records belonging to Farrah Fawcett, Britney Spears, Maria Shriver (Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s wife), it’s time for a new privacy breach.

The incident happened last month at Sparrow Hospital in Michigan. According to the Detroit Free Press, an unspecified number of employees were fired or disciplined for trying to access Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s (D) computerized medical information. The 49-year-old Democratic governor was admitted for emergency surgery at the Sparrow Hospital to remove an intestinal obstruction.

“We had no knowledge of this; we were as surprised as anyone,” Granholm’s spokesperson Liz Boyd said, adding that such issues are “very serious.” The privacy breach was discovered during a routine audit.

Representatives for the hospital said that employees are required to sign a statement that they will not violate the hospital’s privacy policies. The statement issued by Sparrow Senior VP Joe Ruth says that all employees take patient privacy very seriously and have procedures in place to protect health information of all patients, and assured that “appropriate disciplinary actions are taken” if employees violate privacy codes.

The hospital didn’t say how many employees were fired or disciplined for peeking at the Governor’s medical records. They said the incident was an internal personnel matter.

The privacy of medical records is protected under the state and federal laws.
