HEALTHCARE IT SUPPORT

Managed IT Services for Medical and Dental Clinics

When you’re so busy serving patients, it can feel impossible to manage an entire IT framework.

The ITeam provides comprehensive dental IT support, medical IT support and all managed IT services for healthcare organizations in Calgary, AB.

Everything from a privacy impact assessment (PIA) to preventative maintenance is handled seamlessly by the professionals at The ITeam.

This allows you to effortlessly serve your patients, protect their data, and remain in compliance.

Are you in compliance with Alberta’s Health Information Act?

If you are a physician, dentist, pharmacist, chiropractor, doctor or other medical professional, you should be asking this question.

IT management within the healthcare industry is more than remaining in compliance with legal standards.

Practices are responsible for protecting the most private information of their clients, who also depend on the practice for reliable and trustworthy service.

The ITeam offers managed services and 24/7 support. Call (403) 750-2540 or contact us to discuss how we can assist in getting your PIA completed!

Privacy Impact Statements

A Requirement for Alberta Medical Providers

What is a Privacy Impact Statement (PIA)?

As a medical practice that maintains the private records of patients, your practice is responsible for preparing and submitting a privacy impact assessment (PIA).

A PIA describes “how proposed administrative practices and information systems relating to the collection use and disclosure of individually identifying health information may affect the privacy of the individual who is the subject of the information” (Health Information Act).

A PIA is, in practice, a thorough review to demonstrate the best-practice health information safety and security practices that are in place at your clinic.

The PIA process is required by law for custodians (i.e. chiropractors, doctors, dentists) of private patient health data.

If you are a physician, dentist, pharmacist, or other medical professional handling sensitive patient data, you are required by law to conduct a PIA and file it with the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC).

There are many benefits to having an OIPC-accepted PIA on file, including patient loyalty and trust, peace of mind, and knowing that your data is truly protected from risk.

Our team will assist in preparing and filing your PIA so you can focus on your patients.
