Physiotherapy, chiropractic, optometry, pharmacy, mental health, and every allied health practice in between — if you collect patient data, you have obligations under Canadian privacy law. Netxafe helps you meet them.
PIPEDA applies to any practice collecting personal information in the course of commercial activity. That covers the full spectrum of allied health — regardless of size, specialty, or whether you use paper or digital records.
Treatment records, injury histories, insurance billing, and referral data all require active PIPEDA protection.
Personal health records, diagnostic imaging, and extended health benefit claims create significant data protection obligations.
Patient eye records, prescription histories, and health card data are subject to PIPEDA and provincial health information rules.
Prescription databases, drug interaction records, and patient profiles are high-value targets for drug fraud and identity theft.
Session notes, diagnoses, and treatment histories carry the highest sensitivity of any health record. A breach can cause lasting harm to patients.
Occupational therapy, speech therapy, nutrition, midwifery, and every other allied health specialty that handles patient data falls under PIPEDA.
Cybercriminals increasingly target small and medium allied health practices precisely because they hold valuable patient data but typically lack the IT resources of larger healthcare institutions. An unprotected physiotherapy clinic or mental health practice presents exactly the combination attackers look for.
