Protect Your Practice, Your Assets, and Your Patients with Privacy Impact Assessments – A Complete Step-by-Step Course

Posted on October 28, 2020 by Jean Eaton in Services, Training

Do you need a Privacy Impact Assessment?

Or do you need to amend an existing PIA?

Privacy Impact Assessments are just one of the requirements you need in order to fulfill your obligations in Alberta’s Health Information Act (HIA) and other legislation and are an important aspect of developing privacy best practices in your office.

And a little help along the way is always a good thing.

Practical Privacy Coach, Jean  L. Eaton of Information Managers, is constructively obsessive about privacy, confidentiality, and security when it comes to the handling of personal and health information, particularly in primary health care settings. Jean has helped hundreds of healthcare providers, vendors, and health and social service delivery organizations and associations complete their Privacy Impact Assessment which have been successfully accepted by organizations' management and regulators. Jean has customized and delivered privacy training programs for privacy officers, records management professionals, implementation teams, and healthcare providers across Canada and the US.

Now you can have access to five modules to help you learn everything you need in order to complete your own PIA.

     

**** New PIA Amendment Track ****

Each module includes a video training, as well as templates, tools, resources and case studies to build on in each lesson. You can use this scenario to guide you through the PIA process in healthcare. If you work in healthcare or privacy or records management and need to do a PIA, this e-course is for you.

 

You need a Privacy Impact Assessment when

  • You  are opening a new clinic or establishing a new health services program.
  • You are changing administrative procedures or technology equipment, services, or vendors
  • You are changing how you collect and use personal information,
  • You are implementing or changing an Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
  • You are sharing health information with another healthcare provider, organization, Primary Care Network or other health program.
  • You want to prevent a privacy breach,
  • You have a Privacy Impact Assessment that was written more than 2 years ago (It is time to review and update this!)

 

If you are a healthcare provider, practice manager, and you need your first Privacy Impact Assessment, this e-course is for you

Are you in a group or solo practice with direct patient care, for example:

  • Physician
  • Pharmacist
  • Registered nurse
  • Optometrist or optician
  • Chiropractor
  • Physiotherapist
  • Midwife
  • Podiatrist
  • Dentist, dental hygienist or denturist
  • Audiologist
  • Mental health practicitioner
  • Laboratory, x-ray, and imaging technician
  • Paramedic

A PIA should be as common place to a healthcare practice as a business plan is to a business. BUT most healthcare practices don’t know this and often don’t know that a PIA is  usually part of their professional college requirements and often even a legislated requirement! Prevent malicious errors, omissions or attacks that could result in fines and even jail time for the business, healthcare provider, employee, or vendor by completing a PIA.

If your Privacy Impact Assessment was written more than 2 years ago this e-course is for you

The Clinic Manager and Physician Lead and Privacy Officer  must ensure its content is updated to reflect the current state of administrative, physical and technical controls.

BONUS! Checklist to update your PIA to meet recent changes to Alberta's Netcare Portal. If your practice has completed a PIA and now you need to update the PIA, you receive a checklist of items that you need to consider to refresh your PIA.

 

If you a vendor that supports healthcare practices this e-course is for you

BONUS! One hour tele-consult with Jean, “Create a branded Privacy Impact Assessment Readiness Package”. Jean will work individually with you to review your documentation and coach you on how to prepare the package to give to healthcare practices.

BONUS! Vendor PIA live webinar includes Vendor non-disclosure agreement, Information Manager Agreement, GAP Analysis, Computer Network Narrative templates.

 

Jean has helped hundreds of physicians, chiropractors, pharmacists, and other healthcare providers complete their Privacy Impact Assessment. She has visited hundreds of practices across Canada. But time and geography limit my ability to visit each healthcare practice that needs a PIA. That's why I developed this on-line interactive course to help you learn everything you need in order to review, amend, or create your own PIA. Each module includes a video training as well as templates, tools, resources and two common case studies to build on each week. You can use these scenarios to guide you through the PIA process.

You know your practice better than anybody else. If you had the right tools, at the time most convenient for you and a mentor to help you, you can develop good office practices, meet legislated and college requirements, and successfully complete your Privacy Impact Assessment requirements.

Using a Webinar on-line interactive program, you will get great content and mentoring from Jean Eaton and once a month during the Q&A live training webinars. Learn the PIA process with these modules.

The modules include:

Module 1:

PIA to Protect Your Practice, Your Assets, and Your Patients

 

Module 2:

Information Flows–-the Foundation of Your PIA

 

Module 3:

Risk Analysis and Mitigation Strategies

 

Module 4:

PIA Format - Pulling it All Together

 

Module 5:

BONUS Module 6:

Create a Branded Privacy Impact Assessment Readiness Package

The replays, tools, and resources will be available to you right away.

Jean Introduction Ecourse PIA (1)

I had the pleasure of working alongside Jean to develop a PIA for my Dental Office. I could not have completed this document without her. She was there to help me every step of the way. Her online course made it easy to communicate with her as well as having so many resources to use that were so helpful. Each Module had videos to watch that explained step by step what needed to be done. The PIA document is a lot of information to put together and if it's not enough information on its own, you also need to develop a policy and procedures manual. Jean has developed an amazing resource for this manual that was very user friendly and made a 300 page manual a lot more attainable than creating it on your own. I highly recommend taking Jean's PIA course and having her help throughout the process!”

~~Lindsey Cave, Office Manager, Orion Dental Group

5 Low Cost Steps You Can Take Now To Prevent Employee Snooping In Healthcare And Prevent Privacy Breach Pain

Posted on October 22, 2020 by Meghan in Blog

Healthcare Employers, Privacy Officers Need To Prevent Employee Snooping

Human curiosity, interpersonal conflicts, shaming or bullying or financial gains are common motivators for snooping. We seem to be hard-wired to want to peek into someone else’s personal and private information. Snooping is a violation of trust between our patients and the healthcare providers and the people who work for them.

We want our patients to trust us. We need the patients to share their personal information with us so that we can provide the appropriate health services to them. When healthcare providers and employees snoop in our patient’s information we destroy that trust with the patient. When one of our team members is snooping, it harms the effectiveness of our teams and damages morale in the clinic.

When employees are snooping in personal health information, it costs the employer time and money.

What Is Snooping?

Looking at someone’s personal information without having an authorized purpose to access that information to do your job is known as ‘snooping’.

Even when you are “just looking” at personal information but don’t share that information with anyone else, this is still a privacy breach.

It is illegal.

Snooping incidents are on the rise and can cost you time, money, heartache, and headache in your practice.

When there is an offence under the privacy legislation like the Health Information Act, there may be an investigation, charges and court appearances, fines, penalties, and loss of employment.

Snooping is entirely preventable. You can easily use the 5 low cost steps to prevent employee snooping in your healthcare practice.

How Can You Prevent Employee Snooping?

Let’s take a look at the pro-active steps that you can take today to prevent employee snooping.

Step 1. Be A Privacy Champion

The first step is to be a privacy champion. Everyone can be a privacy champion in your role in your practice. Make sure that you understand the legal and regulatory obligations about privacy and how it affects your health care practice and your patients is an important step.

In addition, each practice should have a named privacy officer who is responsible for the accountability and management of privacy compliance in your practice. In fact, simply having a named privacy officer increases the likeliness of spotting  and responding to a privacy breach more quickly than a practice that does not have a privacy officer.

The privacy officer will also ensure that there are appropriate policies and procedures related to the correct collection, use, and disclosure of health information – and appropriate monitoring and enforcement when snooping is suspected.

Step 2. Train Privacy Awareness

Healthcare practices must provide privacy awareness training to all of their employees at their orientation and not rely on the assumption that the employees have learned about privacy awareness in their previous roles.

When the training includes examples of snooping and clear expectations about the potential consequences and sanctions, you have set the stage to define the culture that snooping is not acceptable. Unfortunately, there are many examples of snooping privacy breach incidents in the news. When you discuss these examples, you can increase privacy awareness and learn from someone else's privacy breach.

Use These Examples as part of your training to inform employees about the consequences of snooping

Recent Privacy Breach Convictions Under Alberta’s Health Information Act

Step 3. Reasonable Safeguards

Implementing reasonable safeguards makes it easier for people to do the right thing and avoid the temptation of snooping.

There are three types of safeguards.

Administrative. Written policies, procedures, training, and oaths of confidentiality are examples of administrative safeguards. When there are clear, written, expectations about privacy and confidentiality, including snooping, we are more likely to achieve positive privacy practices.

Technical. This often includes security related to computers. For example, making sure that we have role-based access to systems and personal health information supports the need to know principle. Computer networks and electronic medical record systems that have user management audit logging and enforce unique user ID are other examples about technical safeguards that allows us to prevent and monitor snooping incidents.

Physical. Restricted access to paper records, ensuring that documents are shredded appropriately are examples of physical safeguards that can prevent employee snooping.

Step 4. Monitor to Prevent Snooping

Knowing that their supervisor, co-worker, or privacy officer is observing their interactions with personal information may help to deter employees from snooping.

The supervisor or privacy officer may routinely monitor user audit logs of systems containing personal information to search for unusual activity or pro-active review of users looking up patient information with the same last name or access to VIP records.

Listen to the podcast, How AI Improves EMR Auditing | Episode #094 to learn about an easy way to perform user monitoring and quickly recognize risks from external bad actors and employee snooping incidents!

Step 5. Consequences When Employees Snoop

Well documented and implemented consequences is step 5 to prevent snooping incidents.

Written sanctions and discipline policy are required both as a deterrent to snooping and to facilitate the quick response to a privacy incident.

When proactive measures fail, consequences may be appropriate. The consequences need to be reasonable, consistent across all providers and employees, and fair to the circumstances.

Written sanctions and discipline policy are required both as a deterrent to snooping and to facilitate the quick response to a privacy incident.

Snooping is a privacy breach, and it will require investigation and reporting. Your written privacy breach policies, procedures and forms will help you to respond quickly to a snooping incident.

Sanctions might also be applied outside of the organization. When a privacy breach is reported to the OIPC or a privacy complaint is made to the OIPC, charges may be laid under the HIA.

Privacy Policy

“This was my first ever time I had to work on a PIA and I was a little nervous about doing it efficiently - but you really made it as simple and straight forward as possible.
