As Canada’s national information and communications technology (ICT) business association, TECHNATION champions the development of a robust and sustainable digital economy in Canada. TECHNATION and its advocacy committee are excited to share their health division’s Privacy and Security Framework v. 3.0. This framework provides background on problems, solutions, and advocacy recommendations for five related themes for interactive discussion with Canadian health stakeholders: cyber security, data sovereignty, de-identification, secondary use, and general data protection regulations.
In consultation with TECHNATION’s members, they continue to engage with Canadian health care stakeholders to gain a broader consensus on the recommendations this document puts forward. Updated versions will be published in the future to build on a greater and more solid national scope for the framework.
