As you know, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario (IPC/O) has provided further guidance as to their expectations for Health Information Custodians, specifically with respect to physician practices and Family Health Teams. To assist our members in understanding and meeting the new privacy criteria, we have partnered with DDO Law to provide our members with FREE Privacy Training & Tools. On January 27 and February 3, 2016, nearly 150 EDs and Board Chairs of AFHTO member teams attended privacy training webinars. The webinars were recorded and have been posted on AFHTO’s Members Only website for those who wish to review and share them.
A compilation of privacy tools is available on the AFHTO website. New resources have been posted to answer your privacy questions and guide you in updating your privacy policies:
- Template FHT FHO PHIPA Agency Agreement [editable Word document to download]
- Answers to the top 5 privacy questions asked by FHTs and FHT staff
- Family Health Team Privacy Impact Assessment Template [editable Word document to download]
- 13 Privacy Tips for Family Health Teams [PDF]
