The complainant submitted a correction request under the Personal Health Information Protection Act to a neurologist to correct two consultation reports the neurologist had prepared. The neurologist refused to make the requested corrections, relying on section 55(8) and/or 55(9) and the complainant filed a complaint with the IPC. The adjudicator finds that the complainant has failed to demonstrate that the information in the records is incomplete or inaccurate for the purposes for which the neurologist uses the information. As a result, the neurologist’s decision not to make the requested corrections is upheld.
