MEDIA ADVISORY - Ontario's Information and Privacy Commissioner to host panel on Building Trust in Digital Health Care

TORONTO, Jan. 25, 2023 /CNW/ - Patricia Kosseim, Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, is hosting a panel discussion with health care and privacy experts to mark Data Privacy Day.

Digital tools open up great new opportunities for more efficient and effective health care. They also introduce new privacy and security risks to sensitive personal health information. How can health care organizations become more resilient against privacy breaches and cyberattacks? How can they successfully build and sustain a privacy-respectful culture? And what will it take for the health care sector to finally rid itself of faxes and unprotected emails — the top causes of health privacy breaches in Ontario?
