Private Person - Doctor

For a period of approximately 4 to 5 months, a doctor published patient data and medical records on his personal Facebook page. The published data included patient names, diagnostic data, medical diagnoses, medication data, hospital admission and discharge data, patients' social security numbers, and the names of the treating doctors. The decision was passed in a simplified procedure in which the imposed fine of 600,- Euros is the maximum penalty. Authority: Austrian Data Protection Authority (DSB)
