CHEO Employee, Former Instructor Shares Private Information Of Almost 300 Patients

A now former Algonquin College instructor and current CHEO employee has shared the private information of 283 patients.

Handouts including names, birth dates, surgical procedures, allergies, and medical i.d.’s were given out during classes on February 1st and 2nd to 32 students.

The students in the Health, Policy & Public Safety, and Community studies program were using the information to learn about supporting surgeries in a hospital setting.

The students had access to the information for about one hour before all the handouts were given back to the instructor.
