Clinic and Patient Privacy

Free privacy training is available for community-based physicians and clinic teams. Enrol your clinic into Learn@AMA to receive comprehensive training tailored to physicians, privacy officers and clinic staff. 

Many tools and resources are available to help physicians and teams build a privacy and security program within their clinic.

Understanding patient privacy is a necessity for physicians and their teams. Learn more about the Health Information Act (HIA) and Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA).

Data sharing is critical to building an effective health system but must be done securely and follow all privacy laws. Clinics who work with external vendors and providers need to understand their obligations for protecting health information. 

Stay up to date on privacy and security requirements for your clinic including what to do if you suspect your clinic has had a privacy breach.
