Privacy & Security
We've helped ensure data privacy and the security of electronic health records in jurisdictions across Canada.
We have a comprehensive understanding of privacy legislation and information security issues related to health informatics and the broader IM/IT environment. We view privacy and security planning as a business enabler and a tool that can help organizations manage risk. With the right strategy, informatics solutions can address regulations in a practical way, while serving business goals and user needs.
Our privacy and security specialists can help your organization develop policies and deliver comprehensive implementation programs; design architectures that integrate security and privacy principles across systems; and work with stakeholders to ensure that privacy and security requirements are balanced successfully with broader business needs.
MD+A's comprehensive Privacy and Security services go beyond analysis and assessments.
Respecting Concerns
When a chronic disease research network needed a system to integrate and share clinical data across Canada, MD+A worked with researchers, physicians and patients to develop a privacy and consent framework that addressed concerns and allowed the system to function.
Enabling Systems
When the Walkerton water crisis raised concerns about public safety, MD+A's privacy services helped enable the information systems supporting an improved regulatory infrastructure.
