3 Sep 2026 Azienda Sanitaria Universitaria Friuli Centrale (ASUFC)Garante: Udine hospital group pays 24,000 EUR for viewing a colleague's patient record ItalyEmployee data €24,000

Hospital staff opened a colleague's electronic health record to organise duty rosters during Covid rather than for treatment purposes. Technical barriers limiting access to treating staff were lacking; the Italian data protection authority (Garante per la protezione dei dati personali) imposed 24,000 EUR (Provvedimento No. 616).

What organisations can take from it

Patient records may only be opened for treatment – include this in training and secure it technically through role-based rights and logging.
