NZ: Privacy review at Wellington Hospital after staffer caught snooping on records

Posted on March 19, 2016 by Dissent

The breaches have sparked an independent privacy review of the Capital & Coast District Health Board’s privacy practices, which recommended more thorough auditing, restrictions on access to electronic medical files, and better staff training.

A report, released under the Official Information Act, revealed the investigation occurred after a former colleague claimed the woman had been snooping into her electronic medical records.
