Report ID: PSETS0000104605, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Reported Entity: CLEVELAND OH - 541
Issue:
A clinic mailed lab results to the wrong patient. The patient mailed the documents back to VA. The cover letter was correct, but the mailing address was another Veteran's address. Both addresses in CPRS are correct, so it is not known how the wrong address was put on the letter.
Outcome:
05/28/14: The Incident Resolution Team has determined that one Veteran will be sent a letter offering credit protection services due to full SSN being disclosed.
