Information Sharing Agreements for Disclosure of EHR Data within CanadaInformation Sharing Agreement • November 9th, 2010
The vision for a pan-Canadian EHR or interoperable EHR (iEHR) is one in which personal health information is available to support patient care no matter where in Canada the person is receiving care, as well as health system administration. The iEHR will make available to the caregiver, in a privacy-protective manner, the information needed to treat a patient from another jurisdiction -- and to also make available to caregivers in the home jurisdiction the information they need for the patient’s follow-up care. Data has always been disclosed on an ad-hoc basis when needed for care and in the existing environment, data disclosure also takes place routinely for administrative uses such as billing, with supporting agreements.
