PHIPA Summit 2009: Leveraging Technologies to Manage Health Information - November 26 & 27, 2009 - Toronto, ON

Personal Health Information Management and Privacy

 

Welcome to the 4th Annual PHIPA Summit (2009). Returning to Toronto, and in its fourth year, this conference (November 26th and 27th at the Toronto Marriott Bloor Yorkville) is a two-day affair, focusing again on Ontario’s Health Privacy legislation as well as establishing proven Health IM strategies.

Ontario’s health information privacy legislation must strike the right balance between allowing health care providers to quickly pass on the information needed for patient care to other health providers, while restricting unauthorized disclosure. Considering that a patient’s medical history’s security is paramount, especially in this networked age of Web 2.0 technologies, how we continue to manage their information is now more important than ever.

Both the PHIPA legislation as well as the electronic records revolution have reinforced the fact that now is the time to better develop information management strategies, especially in the public health sector.

2009 has already been a challenging year for Ontario’s Health Information Custodians. Leadership, networking and knowledge sharing, now more than ever, should be a top priority for all of those charged with the task of managing health information, and protecting the privacy of patients.

You will also:

  • Discuss, identify, and most importantly address the many challenges you face as a health information custodian

  • Learn from the wide range of expertise available to the health community to identify the challenges of your information management network

  • Create and implement your own health information management strategy

Join your colleagues today and continue to explore how to better address privacy issues in your organization, and firmly establish how to manage personal health information. See you in November at Ontario’s first and premiere Health Information Management and Privacy event! At an early bird rate less than $300 for one day, or under $500 for two days, this event is an unbelievable value.
