   Edward Prunchunas, CFO of the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles,
   has written to more than 1,000 patients to warn them that a former hospital
   employee has stolen their personal information, possibly in an attempt to
   commit insurance fraud. Hospital officials said they will re-examine their
   security policies, including the way they monitor employees who have access
