19d. Health records
“Every resident has the right to have their personal health information within the meaning of the Personal Health Information Protection Act, 2004 kept confidential in accordance with that Act, and to have access to their records of personal health information, including their plan of care, in accordance with that Act.”
In other words: The law says your health and medical records must be kept private and confidential.
The home must keep your health and medical records in a secure place where others cannot see them.
Only the people responsible for your care can see your records. Other people can see them only if you give your consent.
You have a right to see and get copies of your health records. And you can show them to other people if you want to.
