One of the topics required in the Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) policy section, is the overall principles used to manage the clinic’s privacy and security and adherence to Alberta’s Health Information Act (HIA). Many clinics have found it helpful to include a Privacy Charter at the beginning of the policy section of their PIA. This document articulates the clinic’s commitment to their patients and personnel with respect to privacy and security of health and personal information.
