NZ: Sacked Waikato medics snooped into patient files

Posted on March 30, 2017March 30, 2017 by Dissent

Aaron Leaman reports:

Twelve privacy or confidentiality breaches have been committed by Waikato staff since 2012. Offences range from unauthorised snooping on medical records, to misdirected emails.

Patient privacy came under the spotlight earlier this month after Auckland District Health Board announced it was investigating a possible privacy breach of former Silver Fern Tania Dalton’s patient file.
