Happy Hour Cafe with CLPNA!

Posted on May 2, 2016 by Jean Eaton in Blog

I enjoyed presenting at the College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta (CLPNA) conference, “Happy Hour Cafe“.

The “Happy Hour Cafe” was a new concept for me – attendees had 45 minute to attend any three, 15 minute table top presentations. A great way to provide a privacy nugget of information to an ever-changing audience!

I had the opportunity to share some key tips to Prepare for Mandatory Privacy Breach Reporting.

Privacy legislation is changing. LPN’s will continue to work in expanding scope of practice including entrepreneurial business opportunities. A privacy breach management response plan is one part of a privacy management program that will make your nursing practice better.

4 Step Response Plan

  • Contain the breach.
  • Evaluate the risks.
  • Notify affected individuals and other stakeholders.
  • Prevent the breach from happening again.

If this topic might be a good fit for an event that you are involved with – either in person or a customized webinar – just drop me a line!

Mandatory privacy breach reporting proposed for HIA

Posted on March 3, 2014 by Jean Eaton in Blog

Information and Privacy Commissioner Jill Clayton has written to the Minister of Health to formally request the Government of Alberta consider amending Alberta’s Health Information Act (HIA) to include mandatory breach reporting and notification provisions.

In the letter, items for consideration in an amendment to the legislation include who should be notified about a breach, what the triggers are for notification, what should be reported and in what time frame, and whether there should be penalties, sanctions or other consequences for failing to notify.  A copy of Commissioner Clayton’s letter has been posted to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner’s website at www.oipc.ab.ca.

There are several current legislation that requires mandatory privacy breach reporting including PIPA in Alberta. We have best practices to follow when we have a privacy breach involving health care. (See our Document Management Tip: Privacy Breach Reporting Form  as a sample tool to follow).

In healthcare, we strive to pay attention to details to provide the best care and treatment for our patients and respect the privacy of their personal information. However, we are human and errors do happen. How ‘small' or ‘big' does a privacy breach need to be require notification to a regulator? What might be the implications to a business if they must report each privacy breach? Are there other alternatives to mandatory breach reporting that we should consider?

Send me a comment by email and we'll compile the list and add to a future article.

"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!"
