Event Description

Dear Colleague,

Health Information Privacy and Security issues remain challenging as the health care system moves towards greater integration and greater sharing of patient information. Governments and healthcare organizations of every size are making significant investments in information technology, and with that privacy and security risks are amplified.

At this Insight Information conference you will hear about the policy, legal and technological initiatives now underway across Canada that will promote more efficient collection, retention and exchange of healthcare information. Experts will examine the challenges and solutions associated with ensuring that the best privacy infrastructures and processes are implemented. Staying abreast of latest developments, strategies, policies and legal updates is crucial in order to effectively move these projects forward while still ensuring privacy compliance and protection.

Other significant areas where privacy and security challenges arise and need to be addressed are: the secondary use of personal health information, clinical program development and research, health system administration and decision support, and population health surveillance. In addition, staying current with technical and legal developments is a must if these objectives are to be met.

Don’t miss this essential Health Privacy update from an expert faculty – they will provide you with leading edge solutions and many opportunities for having your questions addressed. Attend for excellent information sharing and networking with other professionals.

We look forward to sharing these informative and useful experiences with you.
