Secretary Suspected of Absconding with Miami-Dade Hospital Records

In a memo, Carlos Migoya, CEO of Jackson Health System, the region’s taxpayer-owned hospital network, refers to the accused female as “a rogue Jackson employee.”

Evelina Reid, a hospital unit secretary and Jackson Health staffer since 2005, was assigned to the main operating room. She earned about $33,000 in 2014.

Reid allegedly stole troves of private patient data over the past five years in a scheme that may have compromised more than 24,000 records. She has been placed on administrative leave.

Migoya noted in the memo that the hospital system is in the process of upgrading security for private patient information, and that employees recently completed additional training on patient privacy.

The breach exposed patient names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and home addresses.

The news comes four days after the hospital announced the firing of two employees for snooping into the private information of New York Giants star player Jason Pierre Paul, whose right index finger was amputated at Jackson Memorial last year. His patient chart was leaked to ESPN.
