What is PHIPA?
The Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) is a comprehensive piece of legislation that addresses complex issues concerning the collection, use, and disclosure of personal health information. PHIPA makes it mandatory for Canadian-based healthcare providers and organizations to improve the efficiency of electronic transactions while ensuring the security and confidentiality of information.
PHIPA has changed the way healthcare organizations send, receive, and store confidential patient information. Organizations must implement security and privacy measures that protect the confidentiality and integrity of personal health information being transmitted electronically. Thus, PHIPA regulations affect the security measures required when faxing medical data between healthcare providers, patients, and other entities. This is a key factor in choosing a PHIPA fax solution in the healthcare industry.
