R-22.1 - Act respecting health and social services information
Section 1
Disposition versions
Not in force
1. The purpose of this Act is to establish standards to ensure the protection of health and social services information while enabling optimization of the use made of the information as well as its timely communication, excluding its sale or any other form of alienation. The Act thus seeks to improve the quality of the services offered to the population by simplifying the circulation of such information so that it follows the persons concerned by it in their care journey, and by enabling management of the health and social services system that is based on knowledge of the needs of persons and of the utilization of services.
More specifically, it establishes various possibilities for access to such information and sets out the cases in which and conditions on which the information may be used within a health and social services body, or communicated under such accesses or otherwise. Moreover, it establishes a governance model based on transparency and on the responsibility and accountability of service providers and bodies in the health and social services sector.
