PIA Support

The following “tool kit” documents support pharmacists through the PIA process specific to accessing Alberta Netcare Portal (formerly called Portal 2006).

RxA has worked extensively with the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC) to make this a straight forward process. The traditional PIA method has been streamlined for this specific PIA and does not require the completion of the PIA questionnaire provided by OIPC. Completion of the PIA is one essential step that must be finished prior to a pharmacy receiving access to Alberta Netcare Portal.
