Privacy Training

The Physician Office System Program (POSP) offers a suite of online resources to help physicians and clinic staff keep their privacy knowledge up to date.

The requirements that form the essential privacy information for the physician office are from:

• The Health Information Act (HIA) and regulations
• The College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta
• The Canadian Medical Association Code of Ethics

POSP General Privacy Training helps clinic staff identify the principles of the HIA and apply the act in practical scenarios in a clinic setting with electronic medical records. This program takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes to complete. Completion is required for a POSP privacy resource to be assigned to the clinic to assist with a privacy impact assessment.

Note: The General Privacy Training must be completed by the clinic privacy officer who is responsible for compliance, before POSP will provide privacy support to your clinic.

 

POSP Privacy Officer Training helps individuals appointed as clinic privacy officers to understand the HIA and apply it in practical ways to everyday clinic activities. This includes managing privacy understanding, encouraging staff compliance and embedding privacy awareness in the clinic culture. This program takes approximately 60 minutes to complete.
