New Brunswick Ombudsman Speaks About Patient Privacy
The Times & Transcript reports that New Brunswick Ombudsman Bernard Richard has spoken up regarding the unfortunate and serious loss of patient health records during transit to British Columbia several months ago.
Murphy said yesterday that lessons have been learned, and announced that new privacy legislation will be delayed until the fall in order to offer New Brunswickers the chance to respond to a discussion paper on the subject.
The legislation is being developed in part to help protect New Brunswickers’ personal information as Murphy moves ahead with the creation of an electronic health record system that would track the medical history of every New Brunswicker.
