Lara Joh Inc. — IT redefined

Health clinics

PHIPA-ready IT for health clinics

Keep patient records private, available and out of the Commissioner's inbox.

Who we work with. Dental, physio, medical and allied-health clinics, hospices and community health centres that hold patient records.

Sound familiar?

When organizations like yours call us

  • You're not sure when a breach must be reported, and to whom.
  • The March 1 breach statistics deadline is coming.

Rules that apply

What the rules ask of you

General information, not legal advice. Use the compliance guide's filter for your exact profile. Last verified: November 6, 2026.

Your PHIPA duties

  • Tell patients about theft, loss or unauthorized use or disclosure at the first reasonable opportunity.
  • Tell the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario in set cases, including theft of records that weren't de-identified or encrypted.
  • File annual breach statistics by March 1.
  • Report to a regulatory college within 30 days in certain discipline cases.
  • Fines reach $1 million for organizations and $200,000 for individuals.

Why encryption matters

  • A stolen laptop with unencrypted patient records must be reported to the Commissioner. Encryption removes that trigger (patients may still need to be told).
