Abstract
Hospitals strive to improve the quality of the healthcare they
provide. To achieve this, they require access to health data. These data
are sensitive since they contain personal information. Governments have
legislation to ensure that privacy is respected and hospitals must comply
with it. Unfortunately, most of the procedures meant to control access to
health information remain paper-based, making it difficult to trace. In
this paper, we introduce a framework based on the User Requirements
Notation that models the business processes of a hospital and links them
with legislation such as the Ontario Personal Health Information Privacy
Act (PHIPA). We analyze different types of links, their functionality,
and usefulness in complying with privacy law. This framework will help
health information custodians track compliance and indicate how their
business processes can be improved.
