据吉姆·里德报道,英格兰国家医疗服务体系(NHS)工作人员若被怀疑在无正当理由的情况下查阅患者记录,将被立即停职,这是针对“窥探隐私”行为“零容忍打击”行动的一部分。

By Jim Reed NHS staff in England suspected of looking at patient records without a valid reason will be immediately suspended as part of a "zero-tolerance crackdown" on snooping. Those under suspicion will also be locked out of NHS computer systems, preventing any further viewing of confidential records, including from home.

嫌疑人员还将被锁定NHS计算机系统权限,防止其进一步查看机密记录,包括在家中远程访问。

NHS England chief executive Sir Jim Mackey has written to every trust, ordering the measures to be introduced immediately to strengthen protection against data breaches.

NHS英格兰首席执行官吉姆·麦基爵士已致函每一家信托机构,下令立即实施上述措施,以加强对数据泄露的防范。

The move follows a series of high-profile incidents involving the records of Nottingham and Southport attack victims and a child who was injured in a crocodile enclosure in Cambridgeshire.

此举源于一系列备受关注的事件,涉及诺丁汉和索斯波特袭击案受害者以及一名在剑桥郡鳄鱼园受伤儿童的医疗记录。

本周,布里斯托尔基金会NHS信托表示,在一名18岁青年去世多年后其医疗记录被访问的情况曝光后,该信托已启动内部调查。

This week, Bristol Foundation NHS Trust said it had launched an internal investigation after it emerged the medical records of an 18-year-old had been accessed years after his death. The boy's mother, Paula McGowan, told the BBC she was "deeply concerned and hurt" and called for the NHS to do more to deal with the problem.

该男孩的母亲保拉·麦高文告诉BBC,她“深感担忧和受伤”,并呼吁NHS采取更多措施解决这一问题。

The NHS said the "hardline" approach is part of a wider crackdown, including the launch of a national campaign to "remind staff of their responsibilities and the serious consequences of unlawful access".

NHS表示,这种“强硬”做法是更广泛打击行动的一部分,其中包括发起全国性运动,“提醒员工其职责以及非法访问的严重后果”。

The NHS said the "hardline" approach is part of a wider crackdown, including the launch of a national campaign to "remind staff of their responsibilities and the serious consequences of unlawful access". "Patient records contain some of the most private information people will ever share," said NHS England's chief executive Sir Jim Mackey.

NHS英格兰首席执行官吉姆·麦基爵士表示:“患者记录包含人们所分享的最隐私的信息。”“我们看到太多滥用这种信任的案例,够了。”

"We have seen too many cases of people abusing that trust, and enough is enough.

“任何想通过查阅患者记录来满足好奇心的人都应该知道:他们会被发现,可能会失去职业生涯,甚至可能留下犯罪记录。”

"Anyone who thinks they can satisfy their curiosity by looking at a patient's record should know this: they will be found out, they may lose their career and could end up with a criminal record." This month, an investigation for the Health Services Journal found that at least 214 NHS staff have lost their jobs and around 2,000 been sanctioned for snooping on sensitive patient data over the past five years.

本月,《健康服务杂志》的一项调查发现,过去五年中,至少有214名NHS员工因窥探敏感患者数据而失去工作,约2000人受到制裁。

"Anyone who thinks they can satisfy their curiosity by looking at a patient's record should know this: they will be found out, they may lose their career and could end up with a criminal record." This month, an investigation for the Health Services Journal found that at least 214 NHS staff have lost their jobs and around 2,000 been sanctioned for snooping on sensitive patient data over the past five years.

在某些案例中,查明员工因对知名患者感到好奇,想了解更多关于其病情或护理情况。

In some cases, it emerged staff were curious about a high-profile patient and wanted to know more about their condition or care.

其他员工因未经授权查阅亲属、熟人和前伴侣的医疗记录而被除名。

Other staff have been struck off after looking up the medical records of relations, acquaintances and ex-partners without authorisation.

2023年,剑桥郡的一名NHS顾问医生因查阅一名女性的健康史而被英国医学总会(GMC)调查,该女性刚开始与该医生的前男友约会。没有单一的覆盖全NHS的电子记录系统供每位员工访问。

In 2023 an NHS consultant in Cambridgeshire was investigated by the General Medical Council (GMC) after accessing the health history of a woman who had started dating the doctor's ex-boyfriend. There is no single NHS-wide electronic record system that every member of staff can access.

相反,包括全科医生诊所、医院和专科诊所在内的机构维护自己的记录,并决定谁可以查看特定信息。IT系统保留审计追踪,应能准确显示谁在何时访问了患者记录。

Instead, organisations including GP practices, hospitals and specialist clinics maintain their own records and determine who can view particular information. IT systems keep an audit trail that should be able to show exactly who accessed a patient's records and when.

保罗·麦高恩(Paula McGowan)的自闭症儿子奥利弗于2016年去世,她被告知,南米德医院至少有五名员工可能在最近今年未经许可访问了他的记录。

Paula McGowan, whose autistic son Oliver died in 2016, was told that at least five members of staff at Southmead Hospital may have accessed his records without permission as recently as this year.

布里斯托NHS基金会信托表示,正在进行“彻底调查”,且“在调查完成前得出结论是不恰当的”。

Bristol NHS Foundation Trust said it was undertaking a "thorough investigation" and it would be "inappropriate to reach conclusions before those enquiries are complete".

麦高恩表示,她欢迎NHS解决该问题的承诺,但表示现在必须采取“有意义的行动”。她说:“医疗记录包含关于个人及其家庭的深度隐私信息。”

McGowan said she welcomed the NHS's commitment to tackling the problem but said it must now be followed by "meaningful action". "Medical records contain deeply personal information about people and their families," she said.

“未经正当临床或专业理由访问这些记录是严重的背信行为,必须承担后果。”

"Accessing them without a legitimate clinical or professional reason is a serious breach of trust and must have consequences."
