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.
