Nova Scotia: OIPC issues 2017-2018 Annual Report
The Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for Nova Scotia ('OIPC') issued, on 14 November 2018, its 2017-2018 Annual Report ('the Report'), which includes statistics on requests in relation to the Personal Health Information Act 2013. The Report highlights the need to strengthen and clarify responsibilities for and monitoring of interoperable health information databases to protect the privacy of Nova Scotians' health information, as well as addresses 'snooping' in the health care setting, noting that custodians are responsible for taking specific steps to secure their systems, ensure limited role-based access and monitor user activity.
