Health and Medical Information

Respect for each patient’s privacy is critically important. Privacy legislation exists at both the Federal and Provincial level to guide patients and health care professionals in the handling of a patients’ personal and confidential information. At the Federal level, the Office of the Privacy Commissioner (OPC) of Canada oversees compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). At the Provincial level the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario oversees the Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004 (PHIPA), which governs the collection, use and disclosure of personal health information within the health-care system. PHIPA establishes rules about how government organizations and health information custodians may collect, use, and disclose personal data. PHIPA also establishes a right of access that enables individuals to request their own personal information and have it corrected if necessary. In addition to this guideline excellent resources on privacy of information and the applicable legislation is available on the OPC (www.priv.gc.ca), IPC (www.ipc.on.ca) and CHO (www.collegeofhomeopaths.on.ca) websites.
