Brendan Seaton

Abstract

While security and confidentiality have long been part of our healthcare culture, privacy is a surprisingly new issue. With the introduction of privacy legislation and codes based on the CSA Model Code for the Protection of Personal Information (CSA Privacy Code), healthcare providers are subject to new obligations, and patients now enjoy new rights.
