Ca: REPORT: Significant privacy breach at Belleville General Hospital

Posted on January 24, 2019 by Dissent
David Foot reports:
According to newspaper reports, there’s been a privacy breach at Belleville General Hospital, in what Quinte Health Care officials are calling an isolated incident.
The Belleville Intelligencer report says a nurse was fired over the incident for accessing “hundreds of patient records” and that, while QHC staff are trying to nail down a timeline of events, the activity was noticed by the corporation’s privacy office in September.
The report says information accessed could include names, addresses, birth dates, health card numbers and other health information.
