A female Vancouver Coastal Health employee has been fired after accessing the confidential electronic records of five local media personalities including three from CTV News. Anchors Tamara Taggart and Coleen Christie and health expert Dr. Rhonda Low were among the victims contacted Thursday and informed that a nursing aide had improperly viewed their patient records. The health authority said the breach was discovered several days ago during a regular monthly audit, and that theres no evidence the information was passed on to anyone else. All indications are that this person did it out of quote-unquote curiosity, so theres no reason to believe it was anything other than that, spokesman Clay Adams said. (English)
