Incident Summary #1: Misdirected faxes containing health information end up in apartment managers' hands
Dynacare
The OPC investigated two separate incidents where health information was sent by facsimile to the wrong recipient. In the first incident, Dynacare sent a misdirected fax containing personal health information. In the second incident, Viewpoint sent a medical evaluation to an incorrect number. Both companies were found to have contravened PIPEDA by disclosing personal information without consent. Recommendations were made to both companies regarding faxing procedures, employee training, and notification of affected individuals.
