Who can use the personal health information collected for the Wait Time Information System?
WTIO staff who administer the WTIS have access to your information to ensure data quality and to analyse and report on wait times. Authorized hospital staff (e.g. your clinician) can also access the WTIS in order to check on the status of their patients, enter in their patients’ information or to collect information about wait times at their hospital. Your information is never used by the WTIO to contact you nor will it ever be sold for any purpose. All contact with you concerning the procedure or service for which you are on a wait list will occur through your clinician and his or her office.
