Are you complying with privacy laws?

You have an ethical and legal obligation to protect the privacy of your patients, and this extends to transmission of patient information.

You need to be aware that standard email is not secure, and that using it to transmit health information puts you at risk of breaching your privacy obligations.

In addition, the Privacy Amendment (Notifiable Data Breaches) Act 2017, which came into effect on 22 February, established the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme in Australia. This scheme introduced an obligation to report serious data breaches. So privacy has never been more important.

To this end, ADAVB has partnered with Mediref to offer a free trial of its secure messaging service.

Mediref is free for all ADAVB members until 31 July 2018.
