Privacy Commissioner’s report states former P.A. nurse illegally accessed patient health information
She didn’t work there, but served at least one patient anyway – and accessed private health information in the process. This happened over two days in April at the Victoria Hospital in Prince Albert.
This information became public after a report from the Information and Privacy Commissioner addressing the accessing of the patient’s private health information.
According to that report, the nurse in question used to work for the Prince Albert Parkland Regional Health Authority. She was at the hospital with a locum physician, a doctor who was filling in for another doctor.
While on the obstetrics unit, the reports states the former nurse provided care to at least one patient, and accessed and made notes in at least two patients’ charts.
