Olivia Franc pleaded guilty Sept. 2 to the multiple health information breaches in contravention of the Health Information Act ( HIA ) , said a Thursday release from the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner ( OIPC ) . With no legitimate reason to do so , Franc admitted she looked into health records of close acquaintances , friends and others in the community while she worked at the Smith Clinic in Camrose . In one case , she further disclosed an individual ’s health information to a friend . The OIPC opened an investigation into the unauthorized accesses of health information after Franc ’s employer in the town , about 95 kilometres west of Edmonton , reported the privacy breach in June 2018 . The OIPC concluded its investigation before referring its findings to the Specialized Prosecutions Branch of Alberta Justice . Charges were laid in July 2019 . It is an offence under HIA to knowingly gain or attempt to gain access to health information in contravention of the Act ( section 107(2)(b ) ) . This case marks 15 convictions for unauthorized access to health information under HIA since 2001 . Of those , 13 convictions have occurred since April 2014 . ;
