REGINA -- The case of a medical office clerk who illegally checked the health records of her lover's wife was cited as an inappropriate breach of health information at a groundbreaking meeting on privacy.
The story was told to about 140 health and privacy experts gathered in Regina on Monday for the first Prairie health information privacy conference.
"This person did it. They accessed another person's very personal health records involving cancer and lab results and biopsies," Alberta privacy commissioner Frank Work said of the medical clerk.
