WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?

Many provinces are developing health privacy laws.  Ontario's Health Information Protection Act, 2004 has been passed by the provincial legislature, given Royal Assent, and comes into effect on November 1st., 2004.

There are a multitude of issues arising in the field of health privacy, which will be discussed and debated by Privacy Commissioners, privacy experts and health professionals in this one-day seminar. The issues of consent, patient access to records, what medical doctors can and cannot do under the new law, the question of fund raising, how research information can or cannot be used if an individual's name can be determined, are just of few of the issues that are the subject of intense debate.

The afternoon sessions will deal specifically with the Ontario Personal Health Information Protection Act. This seminar is a must for health professionals, associations, chiropractors, physiotherapists, government personnel, health care practitioners and any organization in the medical field.
