Patient Privacy: PHIPA - The Electronic Health Record
2016-03-30 12:00 - 13:00 UTC
Part 2 of this Patient Privacy series focuses on the proposed creation of the “Electronic Health Record” (EHR), which would be an electronic system developed and maintained by a Government prescribed organization to enable health information custodians to collect, use and disclose personal health information for the purpose of providing health care. Items to be discussed include the functions and responsibilities of the prescribed organization; the obligations of health information custodians with respect to the EHR; the collection of information from the EHR by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care; and the authority of patients to withhold information.

Brampton Clinic Regulation Consultation
2015-12-09 18:00 - 20:00 UTC
Embassy Grand Convention Centre
8800 The Gore Road, Brampton, ON L6P 0B1

Twelve of the Ontario Health Profession Regulatory Colleges, including the CCO, are hosting consultations to discuss the potential benefits to Ontarians of “a clinic oversight model, and what clinic regulation might look like in Ontario.”
Information provided on the Clinic Regulation Working Group’s website states: “Ontarians receive healthcare services in a number of different settings, places like hospitals, long-term care facilities, pharmacies and clinics. Some of these settings are regulated – hospitals, pharmacies, some medical and dental clinics, and long-term care facilities. However, many clinics currently have no oversight.”
The consultations will take place both online and in person, beginning with a webinar on November 18, 2015. On the same day, information about this potential oversight model will be available on the Clinic Regulation Working Group’s website. No further information is available at this time. The OCA and other associations have contacted the colleges to find out more including the potential impact on practitioners.
RSVP at at the Working Groups’s website. Please direct any questions to info@ontarioclinicregulation.com.
The OCA strongly encourages members to participate in the consultation process and to share their views.
