Question 1

Question

In Ontario, a patient attends an appointment with a physician and reveals information about some
new symptoms that she has been experiencing. Based on this information, the physician diagnoses
the patient with a condition and prepares the report detailing the applicable history and diagnosis.
The report is added to the patient’s record. The patient later regrets revealing certain facts and
doesn’t want anyone else to know about these symptoms or the diagnosis. She acknowledges that
the information she provided was correct and does not question the diagnosis.
Which of the following requests would the patient be most successful at pursuing?

Accepted Answer

That the information be restricted from disclosure to other health care providers.

Ryan · Answer

B. not D. Saw similar in practice questions for CIPP-C.

Jamie S. · Answer

I don’t think the patient could get details actually deleted if the info is accurate, even if they regret sharing it. Isn’t restricting disclosure (B) more in line with Ontario privacy law rules? D seems like a common trap here.

Nathan J. · Answer

Guessing D. If the patient strongly regrets giving the info, asking for deletion feels like the most direct route to privacy, even if it's tricky under health regulations. Not positive on Ontario law specifics but seems reasonable to try for deletion in this case. Open if someone knows more about what actually gets allowed.

Kevin · Answer

C/D? I see the logic for D since deleting feels direct, but Ontario privacy law doesn't allow removal of accurate medical info. B is actually what would work here, the law lets patients restrict disclosure but not erase facts. Pretty sure B fits better in this context.

Quinn A. · Answer

I don’t think it’s B. C makes more sense since the patient could keep a copy for themselves if they want.
