IT’S THE LAW (01/09/2024)

The province of Ontario announced fines for healthcare providers who violate its Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA). Individuals could be fined up to $50,000, and organizations could pay a maximum of $500,000 for violations. This will be enforced against entities that look to contravene the law, but not in cases of breach or when errors are unintentional.
