This course explains important elements of the Newfoundland and Labrador Personal Health Information Act (PHIA) and is targeted to those who have direct contact with personal health information (such as health insurance numbers, test results, family health history, treatment records, registration information, and details of medication, referrals or payments for treatments).

This course also includes a module about "custodians". Under PHIA, a "custodian" is an individual or organization that has custody or control of personal health information. Examples of "custodians" include Regional Health Authorities, the Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Commission, and the Centre for Health Information. As well, health professionals in private practice, and operators of health care facilities, pharmacies, ambulance services and health care programs would likely be considered "custodians", depending on the circumstances.

This course is best suited to those who:

• are in direct contact with personal health information (although you may occasionally overhear or see personal health information, you may not directly handle it as part of your job); and
• are, or work for, "custodians" under PHIA.

Additional courses on PHIA targeted at other audiences are also available. Please note that your employer or regulatory authority may have directed you to take a specific course on PHIA to satisfy professional development requirements or for other reasons.
