You might need to amend your PIA if you want to:
add a new digital health app or patient portal to make it easier for patients to book appointments with you, or get access to Alberta Netcare Portal, or the CII or CPAR projects, expedited Netcare Privacy Impact Assessment, use the internet to get telehealth on-line consultations for your patients, update your participating custodians and privacy officer, and regular review to ensure that you are continuing to meet the requirements of the Health Information Act (HIA). A PIA is a practical business tool in your healthcare practice.
A PIA is an important tool that you can use to help you with project management.
It will help you anticipate risks to the project before it starts and avoid serious problems, and wasted time and money.
The PIA process requires you to have written policies and procedures so that you can implement the project effectively and train your staff consistently.
Sometimes a PIA is a requirement of legislation. But it is always a best practice whenever you implement a project that includes personal health information.

Healthcare providers, clinic managers have three common myths about EMR user monitoring auditing.
Myth #1 – The electronic medical record EMR automatically does all the auditing
Myth #2 – I don’t have to audit my users – I know them
Myth #3 – I won’t have to worry until I have a breach

Rob Pruter, the User Monitoring Expert at SPHER, shares how you can easily protect your practice and your patients when you use Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can recognize unusual activities.

Recently, I was asked about what privacy awareness training can you do at the clinic to keep privacy awareness top of mind.
How do you keep Privacy Awareness top-of-mind in your practice?
As an employer and health care provider, you are responsible to provide training to all of your employees about privacy awareness. If you don’t provide the training, if the employees don’t understand the policies and there is a privacy breach, then the healthcare provider is more likely to be held accountable under the legislation and face penalties including fines and even prison!
Protect your organization and your patients. Equip your staff with the information they need to confidently and correctly handle personal health information. Healthcare businesses who want employee and supervisor level privacy awareness training to support key policies, procedures and risk management programs need a privacy awareness training program.
Here are some easy to implement tips to help you get started with your privacy awareness program.
