AU: Flinders Medical Centre health staff caught snooping in Cy Walsh’s medical records

Posted on February 23, 2016 by Dissent

Nick Toscano reports:

More than a dozen unauthorised medical staff have been caught accessing the confidential records of Cy Walsh after he was arrested over the murder of his father, former Adelaide Crows coach Phil Walsh.

His electronic records, including test results that could relate to the criminal trial, have been accessed by at least 13 health workers across South Australia in what authorities have called a serious privacy breach.

Read more on Sydney Morning Herald.

Did they not have any “break the glass” controls on his records? I hope AU media starts asking them some tougher questions about their access controls. Toscano also reports that SA Health “has slapped formal warnings on the staff who viewed Mr Walsh’s records despite having no involvement in his care.”

Just formal warnings? Why haven’t they been fired?
