Fine for university hospital for patient mix-up

The university hospital of the Johannes Gutenberg university in the German Region Rheinland-Pfalz had to pay a GDPR fine of 105.000€. The hospital had violated the GDPR multiple times during a mix-up of a patient. According to the federal state authority of Rheinland-Pfalz, this Fine has another goal. It should show other institutions that work with sensible medical information that violations of the GDPR are consequently fined.
