Posted on January 27, 2022 by Dissent

Linda Vanderwerf reports:

A respiratory therapist from Clara City has been reprimanded by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice for looking at patient records without authorization.

In addition to receiving a reprimand, Kurt Lee Koenen of Clara City was ordered to complete courses about compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. He is also to complete courses on professional boundaries.
