If so, you know the importance of this sensitive information. Healthcare providers must ensure that every staff member understands their individual responsibility when it comes to handling personal information.
Jean gives you the skills and confidence to handle the elephant in the room!
Jean’s information privacy workshops are ideal for staff members at all levels in any organization or clinic that collects, uses or discloses personally identifying information. This includes direct care providers such as physicians, allied health professionals, and associates, privacy officers, as well as other employees and support staff who are not directly involved in patient care.
