Appendix 3: Online PHIPA Resources

• Author: Halyna N. Perun; Michael Orr; Fannie Dimitriadis
• Pages: 663-663

Material related to PHIPA can be found at a number of online sources, the

most important of which are, at the time of writing:

•Ontario Information and Privacy Commissioner website, online: .

This site contains considerable explanatory material on PHIPA and is expect-

ed to be a source for ongoing material, including copies of orders made under

PHIPA. The material on this site related to the Ontario public sector privacy

legislation is also sometimes useful in interpreting PHIPA obligations.

•Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care website, online: .on.ca>.

This site includes materials that the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care

has developed to help inform both the public and health sector stakeholders

about both PHIPA and QCIPA. In the past, the Ministry has also used this

site to post a notice of proposed regulations. For the broadest range of mate-

rials, be sure to access the part of the site identified for “health care providers.”

Both of the sites above contain a link to the Ontario Hospital Association’s PHIPA

Privacy Toolkit1and QCIPA Toolkit,2which can be accessed directly, along with

various other privacy-related material, online: .
