The recent news about SA Health has left many shocked and concerned. It has been reported that eight employees were forced to leave their positions for illegally accessing the medical records of Charlie Stevens, the son of the police commissioner who tragically passed away in a car accident last year. This is a serious breach of privacy and has caused great distress to the Stevens family.
According to Health Minister Chris Picton, the matter is being taken very seriously. An audit conducted in July revealed that a total of 19 employees, including administrative staff, nurses, and doctors, were involved in the unauthorized access of the medical records. The investigation has been ongoing for months and as a result, 10 individuals have been found guilty of misconduct and have received warnings and sanctions.
However, the remaining eight employees who were directly involved in accessing the clinical information have been deemed to have committed a more serious offense. They have been asked to resign from their positions rather than being fired, and were given their entitled benefits. Minister Picton has emphasized the importance of following rules and regulations when it comes to electronic patient records and has urged all employees to be cautious and responsible in their actions.
This incident has caused great distress to the Stevens family and SA Health has once again extended their sincere apologies to them. The privacy and security of patient information is of utmost importance and such incidents will not be tolerated.
