Building what was stated up thread, for all medical professionals there are universal systems used to log EVERYTHING.
Nurses use them to mark a patients’ most recent medication dosage, when moving a patient from room to room etc.
Doctors use them to write notes from every appointment, log medication Rx etc.
EMSs use them to log whenever they are used, and what follow up if any was required.
These systems are intricate and all connected, and you can be sure whoever has access to use them are identified and documented meticulously.
Disclosing the dates of the medical records that they supposedly have is a really dumb thing to do, as you’ve effectively named your source. It’s as simple as going through the ID’s of anyone who’s accessed JY’s medical records and pinging anyone who pulled up those specifically dated records.
Also, HIPAA (Health insurance portal and accountability act) exists.
As stated before breaching this act is a felony. Anywhere in the world. Anyone even thought to be involved will have their license revoked, barred from practising and most likely jailed and fined severely.
TL;DR Documents or not, this person is a dumbass.
PHIPA is a provincial act and I don't think it necessarily covers BC but the PIPEDA would cover Health data in the same way which is Federal. Either way it doesn't effect the guy claiming to have copies of the documents. It could mean prison time for the person who accessed them though. There was a recent case in the UK of a hospital employee accessing a patient's health record for similar reasons and they got 2 years in prison. These laws are very similar world wide when it comes to health records though. 2-5 years is common for abuse of position to access/ disclose personal data.In Canada I do believe it's called the Personal Health Information Protection Act or PHIPA.
