Two patients sued Vanderbilt University Medical Center for violating their privacy by turning their records over to Tennessee’s attorney general.
Vanderbilt University Medical Center is being sued by its transgender clinic patients, who accuse the hospital of violating their privacy by turning their records over to Tennessee's attorney general.NASHVILLE, Tenn.
“Against that backdrop, its failure to safeguard the privacy of its patients is particularly egregious,” the lawsuit says. The lawsuit says that since the patients learned that their information was shared, they’ve been “terrified for their physical safety, have had significant anxiety and distress that has impacted their ability to work, has caused them to increase home security measures, and drop out of activities in which they normally would participate.”
Howser said that at that point, hospital officials thought patients should hear it from them instead of media reports or other ways.The attorney general also requested a slew of additional information, including the names of everyone referred to the transgender clinic who made at least one office visit, as well as people who volunteer for the hospital’s Trans Buddy initiative, which aims to increase access to care and improve outcomes by providing emotional support for the clinic’s patients.
