REGINA — 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. Kruzeniski said he’s disappointed that the seven doctors and an office manager inappropriately looked at the records. In one case, an employee of a medical clinic examined the health information of three people involved in the collision. 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.
