...put patients' door entry codes on their addresses in their database?

www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/8677789/NHS-security-breach-as-patients-letters-posted-with-security-codes-on-envelopes.html

I mean, would healthcare 'professionals' attach their home address to their door keys?

They have described it as a blunder.
It has little to do with 'health care professionals', it is the way that the information has been stored on computer.

At least it was picked up on quickly and the codes are easily changed.
