An Idaho non-profit hospice has been fined $50,000 for losing a laptop containing unencrypted data on 441 patients. The laptop was stolen in February 2011 from a hospice worker s car and never retrieved. Hospice of North Idaho officials say there is no evidence the personal information has been used to commit identity theft or fraud. The hospice, which in 2010 had a $700,000 margin on $8.8 million in revenues, will pay the fine out of its operating budget.
