Nova Scotia Health Authority

Nova Scotia Health Authority suffered from a privacy breach that exposed 337 patients personal health information.

In addition to test results, doctor's notes, and other personal information, a patient's record typically contains basic demographic data.

According to Stevenson, the six involved employees might face disciplinary action, which includes termination.
