The lawsuit claims the hospital was grossly negligent in managing the recordings, which were allegedly stored on desktop computers that could be accessed without a password. The hospital’s parent company, Sharp HealthCare, also destroyed some of the recordings, but can’t say when, how, or if the appropriate steps were taken to make sure the files were properly deleted and unrecoverable, according to the lawsuit.
