A nurse at Akademiska Hospital in Uppsala opened a total of 90 journals belonging to patients he did not work with, reports Upsala Nya Tidning.
It was a woman from Uppsala who noticed that her journal had been opened by an unknown name. She called the man who denied.
The Health and Social Care Inspectorate (Ivo) investigated the matter further. The woman was one of 90 patients who had their journal incorrectly opened by the nurse over a period of four months.
Ivo is now criticizing Akademiska Hospital for allowing the employee to have access to more journals than necessary. The nurse is being criticized for performing journal openings that "are not compatible with current legislation".
