On July 22, 2013, a staff member of Summit Community Care Clinic sent an e-mail to patients inviting them to a Patient Advisory Committee. In addressing the e-mail, the staff person mistakenly placed recipients e-mail addresses in the To section of the e-mail as opposed to the Bcc section. This meant that all of the recipients of the e-mail were able to see all of the e-mail addresses of the other recipients. This error represented a breach of patient privacy. (English)
