The Institute of Men’s Health (hereafter referred to as IMH) recognises that your privacy in relation to any medical condition you may have is paramount. You should also be aware that the issue of privacy is regulated by the Federal Government under the National Privacy Principles. IMH takes this opportunity to advise you that the information we collect is necessary for the treatment of your condition and wish to ensure you that we endeavor to maintain a high level of confidentiality. IMH’s Privacy Procedure is as follows:
- We have established a system that as far as reasonably possible, endeavours to ensure your privacy whilst in the care of our staff and our associated medical practitioners, persons and/or bodies.
- Personal information provided to IMH may include full medical and some family history, contact details, health insurance, financial account(s) and Medicare details. The information will normally be collected directly from you. Where it is necessary to obtain information from third party sources (i.e. pathology providers), your approval will be sought.
- Our staff, clinical coordinators, medical practitioners and all other associated staff within IMH, will collect the information. Some of this personal information will be used for processing payments and contacting you about new treatments and any issues affecting your prescribed treatment.
- We will keep your patient history, treatment records and other material relevant to your treatment. You may inspect or request copies of your treatment records at a time convenient to yourself and IMH. Should you want copies or a written summary or details of the information on record, a fee may apply in processing the request. There are some circumstances where access can be denied. All such requests must be in writing.
- If any of the information we have about you is inaccurate, you may ask us to correct/alter the records accordingly.
- IMH may be required to disclose some of your health information to other healthcare professionals such as specialists or healthcare providers like radiology, pathology providers etc. This will occur only upon your consent. However, please be aware that there are regulations concerning notifiable diseases where disclosure is mandatory to health authorities.
- We may use de-personalised elements of your health record for research purposes, in study groups or at seminars as this may provide benefit to other patients. Should that happen, your personal identity will not be disclosed unless you consent otherwise.
- Your agreement is required to have your privacy information passed between the companies involved in providing you with treatment. These are IMH, the doctors and pharmacists.
- Your health information will otherwise be treated with confidentiality on an ongoing basis. We otherwise ensure that only authorised staff has access to your medical records.
