Doctors snooped on Humboldt Broncos' records, privacy commissioner finds


Saskatchewan's privacy commissioner has found eight people inappropriately gained access to electronic health records of 10 Humboldt Broncos team members involved in a bus crash last April. "Due to the high-profile nature of the crash, eHealth Saskatchewan understood the risk of snooping," said a report from information and privacy commissioner Ronald Kruzeniski. A privacy report says medical records of crash victims were inappropriately accessed by people in the health care system. Privacy commissioner 'disappointed'Kruzeniski said he's disappointed that the seven doctors and an office manager inappropriately looked at the records. The privacy commissioner said the province's Health Information Protection Act does not address circles of care so the doctors were no longer authorized to access the records.
