Central Health Disclosure of Personal Health Information (PHI) - Stakeholder Survey

Background
Disclosure of personal health information (PHI) is an important service provided by Central Health. Disclosure refers to access or release of personal health information to an authorized individual. Personal health information refers to health records of an identifiable individual.

Central Health is obligated to establish rules for the collection, use and disclosure of personal health information that protects the confidentiality of that information and the privacy of individuals with respect to that information. Also, the organization is required to provide individuals and their authorized representatives with a right to access personal health information about themselves, subject to limited and specific exceptions set out in law. Central Health aims for the following in response to requests for disclosure of personal health information:
  • disclosure requests are completed accurately;
  • in prioritized order;
  • as soon as possible and up to 60 days of receipt of the request with valid consent; and
  • if greater than 60 days, having notified the requester of an extension and documented the rationale for delay. 
Purpose of the Survey
You are invited to complete this survey to inform quality improvement processes concerning authorized access to personal health information in the custody or control of Central Health. The results of this survey will support the evaluation of our Centralized Model for Formal Disclosure of Personal Health Information.
