A nurse accused of improperly accessing patient records at several
metro Denver hospitals faces five counts of identity theft and 46
counts of theft of medical records, according to court records.

Cannon Lamar Tubb, 31, worked for a now-defunct Denver nurse staffing
agency that placed him as an intensive care unit nurse in numerous
Centura Health facilities, the Platte Valley Medical Center and
Boulder Community Hospital, according to court documents cited by the
Daily Camera.

...Centura first discovered Tubb had accessed 85 confidential patient
and staff records at its hospitals during a computer audit in 2010 and
notified Westminster police.

...The Boulder hospital audit found Tubb viewed demographic
information for 74 patients, 46 of whom were never in the intensive
care unit where Tubb worked, the affidavit said. He has also viewed
financial information for some patients.
