The complainant submitted a correction request under section 55(1) of the Personal Health Information Protection Act (the Act) to the Appletree Medical Group (Appletree) with respect to information contained in a record relating to a walk-in visit at a clinic run by Appletree. Appletree denied the correction request under section 55(8) of the Act, on the basis that the complainant had not established that the record is incomplete or inaccurate for the purposes for which the Appletree uses the information. In this decision, the adjudicator finds that the complainant has not established that the record is incomplete or inaccurate for the purposes for which Appletree uses the information and she upholds Appletree’s refusal to correct the record. No order is issued.
