Privacy Training 2023

As employees and physicians within the health-care system, we are entrusted to protect the personal health information of the patients, clients and residents we serve, as well as the personal information of our Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) employees. As per the Health Information Privacy Act (HIPA), we have a legal obligation to ensure their information is protected, and only accessed when required for care, or when permitted by legislation. The Local Authority of Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (LA FOIP) provides the right of privacy with respect to the personal information we hold about our employees.

To ensure all employees understand their roles and responsibilities when it comes to protecting patient and employee privacy, the SHA requires all employees and physicians to receive training in privacy and confidentiality on a regular basis.

The Privacy Office has launched Privacy Training 2023 in MyConnection. The previous privacy training module in eLearn has been discontinued. Paper copies of the quizzes will no longer be accepted.

All employees and physicians are required to complete this training by September 30, 2023. Visit the SHA Privacy intranet page for more information.
