You might need to amend your PIA if you want to:

  • add a new digital health app or patient portal to make it easier for patients to book appointments with you, or
  • get access to Alberta Netcare Portal, or the CII or CPAR projects,
  • expedited Netcare Privacy Impact Assessment,
  • use the internet to get telehealth on-line consultations for your patients,
  • update your participating custodians and privacy officer, and
  • regular review to ensure that you are continuing to meet the requirements of the Health Information Act (HIA).

A PIA is a practical business tool in your healthcare practice.

A PIA is an important tool that you can use to help you with project management.

It will help you anticipate risks to the project before it starts and avoid serious problems, and wasted time and money.

The PIA process requires you to have written policies and procedures so that you can implement the project effectively and train your staff consistently.

Sometimes a PIA is a requirement of legislation. But it is always a best practice whenever you implement a project that includes personal health information.
