News of the day: Providence Health Systems shoots itself in the foot. Again. Having in 2006 lost private information on some 365,000 plan members from a car trunk, they have once again bungled into the release of the private details of some 6500 State members. The printer got stuck, they say.
Note of interest: I work for Providence Health Systems, and have for some 18 years.
Good time to retire. Which is exactly what I've been planning anyway.
An official spokesperson commented "We feel very badly."
I'll bet.
And here's the kicker: All this happens just as Providence takes over administration for the Oregon Public Employees Benefit Board--enrolling more than 100,000 workers and dependents.
Imagine the magnitude of possible screw ups in the future (i.e., stuck printers).
Now here, as everywhere, trickle down is the key phrase--for this betrayal at the hands of batch printing will surely, somehow, become the fault of lowly transcriptionists such as I.
Like ... I ... said ....
Time to retire.
