Curiousity kills the cat

If you are working in an area that gives you access to the public's personal private information, including your own, you could get into serious trouble if you are found looking up information just for curiosity sake. You can even lose your job so do not be too curious and mind your own business.  Here is a clip from the Ombudsman Newsletter
 
Questions often arise about whether

it is a breach of PHIA and FIPPA for

employees and health professionals

to view their own personal health

information (PHI) or personal

information (PI) maintained in a

trustee’s or public body’s electronic

information system. For example,

if you work in health care and

use electronic health information

systems, your PHI may be contained

in those systems. If your job gives

you access to these systems and you

want to see your PHI, should you

look up yourself?

No. Access to your PHI and PI is not a

self service under PHIA and FIPPA.
Here’s why self look up is wrong
When you view anyone’s PHI or

PI, including your own, this is

considered to be a “use” of the

information. The restrictions on the

use of PHI and PI under Part 3 of

PHIA and FIPPA require that every

use must be for a purpose authorized

under the acts (section 21 of PHIA

and section 43 of FIPPA describe the

purposes for which PHI and PI may

be lawfully used).

Generally speaking, you must

restrict your use of PHI and PI to

only the information that you need

to perform your job duties. For

example, if you are providing health

care or another service to a patient

or client, and you need to view that

individual’s PHI or PI in order to

provide the care or service, viewing

the information would be for an

authorized purpose.

Looking up your PHI or PI would

not be necessary for, or in keeping

with, performing your duties. The

use of PHI or PI for self look up

is for a personal purpose rather

than a purpose related to your

duties. This use would violate the

restrictions on the use of PHI and PI

under the acts and would constitute

a breach of the acts. This is the same

reason why snooping and looking up

other people to whom you are not

providing health care or a service is

wrong and is a violation of the acts.

Employees of public bodies and

trustees and health professionals

are permitted to use sensitive

information about Manitobans for

lawful purposes and are trusted to

not abuse this privilege. Self look

up violates that trust. If someone

is prepared to breach PHIA or

FIPPA and risk their employment

and reputation by viewing their

own information, it casts doubt on

whether that person can be trusted

to not view information about other

people.

In snooping incidents investigated

in Alberta a common factor was that

the people who breached Alberta’s

Health Information Act to view other



people’s health information had also

viewed their own. This doesn’t mean

that viewing one’s own PHI causes

a person to snoop, but perhaps

once people have crossed the line

to view their own information, they

feel emboldened to view others’

information.
Here’s what you should do

instead
In many situations, you are able to

obtain your own PHI and PI simply by

asking. If a formal request is needed,

the access to information process

under Part 2 of PHIA and FIPPA is

available and should be followed.

The acts provide a right of access to

information, subject to specific and

limited exceptions under the acts

and the payment of any applicable

fees. Specific people within a public

body or trustee have responsibility

for responding to access requests

and making access decisions: the

public body’s access and privacy

coordinators and officers under

FIPPA or your health care provider

or the trustee’s privacy officer under

PHIA.

Under the acts, individuals can

specify and authorize another person

to exercise their right of access. If

an employee or health professional

is authorized to exercise the access

rights of another individual, such as a

family member, the employee/health

professional must make an access to

information request under Part 2 of

the acts on behalf of that individual.

Looking up the information would

be contrary to the employee’s/health

professional’s job duties and would

violate the restrictions on use under

the acts.

Thank you Winnipeg





THANK YOU WINNIPEG!

June, 2014 The Institute for International Women’s Rights – Manitoba would like to thank those who attended and supported Local to Global 2014, A New Age is Dawning for Every Mother’s Daughter on May 9th at the Viscount Gort. What an amazing evening! Nadia Kidwai, Emcee did a masterful job in keeping the evening running smoothly and on time. There were close to 400 in attendance who heard Sally Armstrong speak passionately about women changing their communities, and indeed their countries, working together and taking on established systems to combat gender based violence. “Now, at last, is the time for women,” she says. Katherina Vermette read several of her poems from the Governor General Award winning book – North End Love Songs, and Keith and Renee gave a resounding muscial ending to an inspiring evening. Shawarma Khan and the Viscount Gort Hotel did an excellent job with the food and beverage. There were 36 beautiful baskets raffled, and silent auction items – all beautifully displayed. Grands n More had a table of crafts made by the grandmothers, and there were displays by IIWR Global College and IIWR-Manitoba which included information on Canadian Women 4 Afghan Women, CUPE, Canadian Council of Muslim Women (Manitoba) and a petition to Bring Our Girls Home. Over 200 signatures were received and the petition was sent to the Prime Minister of Canada and the Secretary General of the United Nations. As well, an electronic version of the petition was put on-line – urging government to do more to bring back the school girls who were kidnapped in Nigeria. The proceeds from Local to Global 2014 amounted to $14, 079, which will now be shared with The Equality Effect; Global Citizenship Scholarships at the University of Winnipeg; the Stephen Lewis Foundation (Grands n More) and The Institute for International Women’s Rights – Manitoba. Special thanks to our Champion donors: Thompson Dorfman Sweatman, LLP; Hill Sokalski Walsh Trippier LLP; and Gail Asper. Major Supporters included: Assiniboine Credit Union, Karen Kochen (BMO Nesbitt Burns), Manitoba Status of Women, Brenlee Carrington, Investor’s Group, Val Clancy, Jean Gigurere, Gail and John Guy, Leona MacDonald, Mary and Richard Scott and the Viscount Gort Hotel. - 30 - On Behalf of IIWR-Manitoba and the Event Committee: Mary Scott; Marilou McPhedran; LeAmber Kensley; Hilary Taylor; Chelsea Caldwell; Wilma Sotas; Leona MacDonald; Alanna Gray; Ariana Yaftali; Florence Okwudili; Zulfiya Tursunova; Anita Neville; Donna Marion; Judy Wasylicia-Leis; Maddie Pearlman; Nancy Cosway; Gladys Legal; Muriel Smith.
