The New Rules for Ontario Hospitals: FIPPA
In the past few years, email retention and security have become the most pressing issues related to an organization's messaging infrastructure. A reason for this trend is the proliferation of government acts that regulate the handling, transmission, and preservation of email correspondence. Another reason for the focus on email retention and security is the increasing acceptance of email correspondence as evidence in courts of law, which has created the need for email archiving as defense against litigation.
This whitepaper focuses on email security and retention considerations for the healthcare industry, and on the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) as it relates to the healthcare industry in Ontario. In particular, it provides detailed information about FIPPA as it relates to email transmission, as well as some transition strategies for hospitals to consider and adopt to ensure that its messaging infrastructure is compliant with FIPPA.
