Hospitals will be designated as institutions under FIPPA as of January 1, 2012. After that date, any member of the public will have the right to make a request for access to a range of recorded information, including records of personal information that came into the custody or under the control of a hospital on or after January 1, 2007. Access to one’s own records of personal health information, however, will continue to be governed by the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA).
