Privacy Awareness in Healthcare Training – Ontario

When it comes to the proper management and protection of personal health information (PHI), no industry faces greater scrutiny than healthcare. Canadian healthcare workers must ensure their compliance with federal and provincial/territorial privacy legislation to avoid stiff fines – and to lower the risk of privacy breaches. In Ontario, every staff member needs to understand their role and responsibilities to comply with the rules of privacy under the provincial Personal Health Information Protection Act. Corridor’s Privacy Awareness Training equips your staff with information and best practices to correctly handle personal information and protect your organization and your patients.

Our training is ideal for all levels of staff in any organization or clinic that collects, uses, or discloses personally identifying information. This includes direct care providers such as physicians, allied health professionals and associates, privacy officers, chiropractor clinics, and dentists as well as any employees and support staff who are not directly involved in patient care.

As an employer and healthcare provider, you are responsible to provide training to all of your employees about privacy awareness.
