Standards for Canadian Health Data Protection During A Health Emergency – An Analysis of Privacy Regulations and Laws.
Health emergencies require unprecedented measures to protect the public from a health disaster. Such actions may require limiting personal freedom and other rights like data privacy. The limitation, however, should be temporary and proportionate so that privacy rights are not compromised superfluously. The Canadian privacy laws, in general, are sector driven and not harmonized at the national level, and there is no new guidance on data usage during emergencies. Hence this presentation will look at the laws and regulations in Canada and encapsulate appropriate standards for Canada’s health data protection for better management of health data privacy.
