Sahlgrenska University Hospital

Açıklama

The Swedish DPA (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten) fined Sahlgrenska University Hospital SEK 3,500,000 (EUR 341,300) for failing to implement adequate technical and organizational measures to ensure information security. It was found that there was no risk analysis regarding the access to patient data. Authorizations for users of the hospital information systems Melior and Nationell patientöversikt were not assigned according to the principle of minimum access. This gave users full access to confidential patient data that they did not need for work purposes. In addition, the Melior hospital information system did not keep records of when and for what purpose patient data was accessed.
