Document Updated: A change to PHIPA Practice Direction #3 takes effect on October 10, 2023. Learn more

The IPC’s current practice is to publish PHIPA decisions made during adjudication, including the name of the respondent and of affected person(s), unless doing so would reveal the identity of a complainant or person whose personal health information is at issue. PHIPA matters resolved through early resolution and investigation may be published, but do not generally name the respondent or affected person(s).

Beginning October 10, 2023, the IPC may publish PHIPA decisions at any stage of dispute resolution, including early resolution, investigation, and adjudication. This includes publishing the name of the respondent and affected person(s), unless doing so would identify the complainant or any person whose personal health information is at issue.
