ROCHESTER, Minn. (AP) â Mayo Clinic has been sued by three female patients who say a former surgery resident viewed nude photographs of them in their medical records.
The lawsuits claim Ahmad Alsughayer, 28, of Saginaw, Michigan, had no reason to go into the patientsâ files. Alsughayer allegedly viewed the records of 1,614 patients and was charged in April with one count of unauthorized computer access.
The Star Tribune reports that three of the women have sued Mayo, with the most recent lawsuit filed in May. One of the lawsuits alleges Mayo failed to use a feature in its electronic health records system that would have limited access to highly sensitive medical records and prevented the breach.
