PHIPA Summit 2013

Thu, 28 Nov 2013 00:00:00 GMT

The PHIPA Summit is a two-day affair, focusing again on Ontario’s Health Privacy legislation as well as establishing proven Health IM strategies.

Ontario’s health information privacy legislation must strike the right balance between allowing health care providers to quickly pass on the information needed for patient care to other health providers, while restricting unauthorized disclosure. As technology continues to ease information transfer, it also continues to blur the lines between disclosure vs breach, consent vs access denial or private vs personal. Both the PHIPA legislation as well as the electronic records revolution have reinforced the fact that now is the time to better develop information management strategies, especially in the public health sector.

Tue, 18 Jun 2013 00:00:00 GMT

The 2013 Ontario Access, Privacy, Security and Records Management Forum is the only true multi disciplinary, cross jurisdictional, and community-based developed event for the greater public service across Ontario.

Access, Privacy, Security and Information / Records Management challenges are intertwined with almost everything the public sector does. This event is intended for those individuals working within public bodies and health trustees across Ontario, and is intended to build relationships, demonstrate the interconnectivity of these disciplines, and improve the overall performance within these areas, ultimately helping public bodies across Ontario perform more effectively, while improving service delivery to Ontario residents.

The Forum is being strategically shaped to allow you to choose your own path while providing you with the best possible networking and professional development opportunities all in one place!

Through a series of plenary, breakout and workshop sessions, delegates will gain a clearer understanding of access to information, privacy, information security and records management issues as they apply in organizations subject to FIPPA, MFIPPA and for anyone interested in these topic areas.

With Verney Conference Management back at the helm, you can expect a return to the high quality, well organized and truly community-based developed events you had become accustomed to. Supporting the development of this year's program is an advisory committee made up of staff from:

City of Kitchener
City of Toronto
Hicks Morley

Ontario Ministry of Community and Social Services
Ontario Ministry of the Environment
OpenText
