Information management - Maintaining the confidentiality of information and applying legislative requirements
Why is this important?
Privacy legislation binds all rehabilitation authorities and aims to protect the rights of individuals by regulating the way information about them is collected, stored, used and disclosed. These Acts regulate:
- the way information is requested and collected
- the type of information a rehabilitation authority can request
- the way information is stored
- the ways a rehabilitation authority can use information held
- the quality of information a rehabilitation authority uses (for example, it is current, accurate and relevant to the purpose for which it was collected)
- the release of information to others
- an individual's right of access to his or her records.
