Privacy Awareness in Healthcare-Pharmacy

Pharmacies handle the sensitive and personal information of hundreds of people every day. They are trusted by their customers to ensure the protection of their prescription profiles, health information, and other personally identifying data. This is why pharmacists, pharmacy assistants, and other pharmacy staff in Canada are required to comply with federal and provincial health information protection and privacy rules. It is critical for pharmacies to maintain their knowledge and understanding of best practices and compliance obligations regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of customer and patient information. Ensuring all members of a pharmacy team are up to date on these rules and regulations can be challenging – this is where Corridor’s online training program for pharmacists and their employees can help.
