Your information is shared with healthcare providers and agencies involved in your care. For example, if you were referred to a hospital your health information would be provided to hospital staff. Sharing information helps healthcare providers give you the best care possible, as quickly as possible. It also helps them to make better and more informed decisions about your care.

Your health information is confidential and checks are in place to monitor access to your records. Your information is not made available to insurance companies, employers or other third parties.

Sharing health information means:

• Quality care, faster
• More complete health information about you is available to those who are providing your care
• You and your healthcare provider are able to make more informed decisions about your care
• You don’t have to remember all your tests and medications Tests do not need to be repeated
