BACKGROUND

A. The CBI Project (as defined below) was undertaken in early 2012 by the Toronto Central LHIN (“TC LHIN”) and

Reconnect as transfer payment organization and lead agency, to work towards a robust level of data quality and

reporting by health services providers in the three sub-sectors of the community health services sector, being: 1)

community mental health providers; 2) community addiction providers; and 3) community support service

providers (collectively, the “Community Sector”).

B. As part of the first stage of the CBI Project, the Lead Agency, CAMH and health service providers in the Community

Sector entered into an Electronic Services Provider Agreement dated as of March 1, 2014 (“ESPA”) to appoint

CAMH as their electronic services provider and in order to disclose personal health information to CAMH in order

to provide reports to TC LHIN and individual HSPs.

C. On March 30, 2015, the parties to the ESPA entered into an addendum to the ESPA (“Addendum 1 Agreement”),

in order to authorize and direct CAMH to disclose data to the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (“ICES”), a

prescribed entity under PHIPA (as defined below) for specific purposes including analyzing or compiling statistical

information for management of the health system and for research purposes authorized under PHIPA.

D. The Parties wish to further implement the CBI Project by permitting HSPs to access personal health information

in the custody of one or more other HSPs, in respect of Shared Clients (as defined in clause 1.1(oo) below), in

order to assist in the provision of health care to Shared Clients.

E. In order for HSPs to share personal health information electronically, they must appoint a health information

network provider in accordance with the requirements of PHIPA. The Parties wish to appoint CAMH as their health

information network provider (“HINP”).

F. PHIPA requires that a HINP enter into a written agreement with each health information custodian concerning the

services provided to that health information custodian.

G. The Parties wish to enter into this DSA to comply with the PHIPA requirement for a written agreement and in

order to set out the roles and responsibilities of the Parties.

H. It is the intention of the Parties that:

i. for those HSPs that are parties to the ESPA and that sign the DSA Adhesion Agreement, this DSA shall,

from and after the date of their execution of the DSA Adhesion Agreement, constitute an amendment and

restatement of the ESPA as previously amended by the Addendum 1 Agreement (the ESPA as previously

amended by the Addendum 1 Agreement is referred to as the “Original ESPA”), and the terms and

conditions in this DSA, shall apply to such HSPs;

ii. for health service providers in the Community Sector that have not signed the DSA Adhesion Agreement,

but are parties to the Original ESPA, the Original ESPA shall continue to apply to them; and

iii. for CAMH and the Lead Agency (as defined below), the terms and conditions in the Original ESPA shall

continue to apply with respect to those health service providers in the Community Sector that have not

signed the DSA Adhesion Agreement, but are parties to the Original ESPA, and otherwise, with respect to

the HSPs referred to, above, in sub-paragraph “i.”, the terms and conditions of this DSA shall apply to

The architecture for the submission of Data from HSPs to the CBI Repository is represented above. The diagram illustrates the following data flow:

1. The Data elements as set out in Schedule C are sent from the Client Management System (CMS) Database of the

HSPs via encrypted web services to the Web Service compliant web server hosted at DATIS.

2. The Data elements are received by the Web Service Server and must meet the data format and mandatory data

element requirements. If they do not, records are rejected and the CMS will receive an error message.

3. Received Data elements are stored in the Landing Database with cell-level encryption applied to demographic and

health information data elements.

4. The Data as set out in Schedule C are assessed by the EMPI to identify and match Client records to create a

complete and single view of a Client. The EMPI will assign an identifier for each unique Client.

5. Data records are sent from the Landing Database to the Data Warehouse.

6. Reports for HSPs and the LHIN are prepared based on the current data records in the Data Warehouse.

7. HSPs can access their own reports including Shared Client Data about current Clients through an SSL-enabled

connection to the CBI reporting portal to review standardized reports and query data.

SCHEDULE I- PLAIN LANGUAGE DESCRIPTION FOR HSPs AND THE PUBLIC (CLAUSES 6.1(D) AND (E))

PLAIN LANGUAGE DESCRIPTION OF THE HEALTH INFORMATION NETWORK PROVIDER SERVICES OF CENTRE FOR ADDICTION AND

MENTAL HEALTH FOR THE COMMUNITY BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE PROJECT SOLUTION (CBI Solution) AND SECURITY SAFEGUARDS

The following is a plain language description of the network services and security safeguards of the Centre for Addiction

and Mental Health (CAMH) within the CBI Solution. This description provides an explanation to the health services

providers who are involved in the CBI Project and to the public of which health information network provider (HINP)

services are being provided by CAMH and how the security processes in place will ensure the confidentiality of the

personal health information (PHI) involved.

Description of the CBI Solution

The CBI Solution (i.e.: a CBI tool and CBI data repository) was created to enhance Community Sector1 data quality and

reporting capabilities. The CBI Solution facilitates the collection of PHI from health service providers (HSPs) to a central

data repository maintained by CAMH for the purposes of providing reports to HSPs and local health integration networks

(LHINs). The data is collected in order to gain a better understanding of which services are being used and the capacity

within the Community Sector to provide the services that are needed. With the CBI Solution, HSPs and the LHINs will have

access to higher quality data, and will be able to query data and run standard reports. In addition, the CBI Solution will

allow specific staff (authorized users) at an HSP to access PHI about shared clients from other participating HSPs for the

purposes of providing health care or assisting with providing health care to that client. PHI that is shared between HSPs

will be referred to as shared client data and only will be done if the HSPs have signed a data sharing agreement which

includes protections to maintain the security and confidentiality of the data.

HINP Services

In providing the services as a HINP, CAMH shall provide the following information systems, information management and

information technology services to enable the HSPs to disclose PHI to one another:

host the CBI data repository;

upload data to the CBI data repository for HSPs that have signed a data sharing agreement with other HSPs and CAMH

(in its role as the HINP);

provide reports to, and support data questions from, HSPs and the LHINs regarding the CBI data;

have a process in place to handle client requests to not share their PHI (Lockbox) and to correct their PHI;

provide a solution for matching of data;

provide incident and breach management support to HSPs;

delete PHI from the repository upon request by the HSP that provided the PHI;

develop, maintain and make available shared client data in order to provide or assist in the provision of health care

services to shared clients;

De-identify PHI that is being held in the CBI data repository so that the De-identified Data may be provided for purposes

of research or analysis; and

provide support services to the HSPs (and their authorized users) through a designated support function within CAMH,

which includes end user support, including ad hoc training and provision of an online help desk function.

1 The phrase “Community Sector” refers to the community health services sector consisting of: 1) community mental health providers; 2) community addiction providers; and 3) community support service providers.

34 Summary of Privacy and Security Safeguards

There are numerous controls built into the system that protect PHI including:

Secure Hosting

The CBI Solution is hosted in a secure environment with effective administrative, physical, technical and information

security safeguards in place that meet industry best practices

Authorization

HSPs access data through a designated portal created by CAMH

Each HSP will determine who, among their staff, will be permitted to access the data in the CBI data repository in

accordance with its own policies and procedures

Authentication

All authorized users are authenticated through an enhanced authentication mechanism prior to accessing the CBI

Solution

Strict password policy parameters are required and enforced

Data Security

Data is encrypted for electronic transmission of data and for data that stays in the repository

Data retention and disposal policies are in place to ensure data are only kept as long as needed and is disposed of properly

to ensure confidentiality

Logging

Access to any activity in the repository is logged and any suspicious activity is investigated

Audit logs are made available to HSPs

Security Assessment

A Threat Risk Assessment (TRA) and Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) were conducted to identify privacy and security

gaps and deficiencies

Privacy

Each HSP and CAMH have implemented and follow privacy practices that comply with the Personal Health Information

Privacy Act, 2004 and its regulations regarding the collection, use and disclosure of PHI

A privacy incident and breach management policy is in place to address any privacy events (breach or incidents)

collaboratively among the appropriate parties

A CBI Working Group and a Privacy, Security and Data Access Sub-Group have been put in place to review privacy matters

and compliance

Conclusion

CAMH, as a HINP complies with the Personal Health Information Privacy Act, 2004 and regulations thereunder as well as

industry best practices, and uses a variety of administrative, physical, technical and information security safeguards to

protect PHI. In addition, CAMH has policies and procedures in place to ensure that its employees and authorized users

understand their obligations with respect to the CBI Solution and protection of PHI.
