snips from the article:
Patricia Celan said she decided last June to file a request to determine whether anyone had accessed her records after seeing news reports about privacy breaches in the health-care system.
The result showed that a fellow Dalhousie University medical school resident had inappropriately accessed Celan’s records multiple times in March of 2023. She had not been previously notified of the privacy breach.
[…] When she took her findings to Nova Scotia’s health authority, Celan said officials confirmed the breach and that there was no reason for the person in question to have looked at her records.
But Celan said she was also told there was little that could be done because by that point the resident who had snooped in her records had completed his training and was working as a doctor in another province.
She said officials at Dalhousie told her something similar.
[…] “And that is concerning because doing something like this is a reflection of someone’s ethical values and now that person is practising as an independent physician and facing no consequences for this.”
I don’t see a statue of limitation in the provinces health privacy act and thus most certainly contravenes it. In fact, the health authority doing nothing about it also contravenes it.
I don’t see why the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) wouldn’t be the investigative authority here. I also have no doubt the college of physicians where they are currently registered would be interested.
