PHIPA is intended to strike the right balance between the legitimate need of health professionals to collect, use or disclose personal health information and the need to maintain the confidentiality of such sensitive information. It also inherently forces responsible health information custodians to practice responsible health information management.

The summit will offer the healthcare community of Ontario the chance to further enhance their training with both case studies as well as plenary lectures. The PHIPA Summit 2012 will also provide an opportunity for the health provider community to share their own experiences with PHIPA over the last few years, to learn best practices and to participate in spirited debate and discussion with field leaders.
