Privacy Impact Assessment – Health Information Listing Table

(PIA Annotated Template - Section C)

Document Purpose and Overview

A Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) describes how proposed administrative practices or information systems may affect the privacy of the individuals who are the subjects of the information. 

This document is intended to be adapted by the custodian when submitting a PIA in Section C: Health Information Listing Table. This table provides the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) with a list and description of the types of health information you will collect, use or disclose. Keep in mind the Health Information Act (HIA) requires that custodians only collect, use, and disclose the amount of health information that is essential to meet the intended purpose.

The proper form to use is the PIA Annotated Template. This template is intended to assist community-based custodians in completing PIAs. It can be accessed on this page on the Alberta Health website.
