Can we give the details of a deceased patient’s profile to family members, including medical history and medical expenses for tax purposes?

Pharmacies and pharmacy professionals in Ontario have responsibilities to safeguard the personal health information of their patients as health information custodians under the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA). As PHIPA establishes the mandate of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario, please refer to Information and Privacy Commissioner (IPC) of Ontario Fact Sheet – Obtaining Personal Health Information About a Deceased Relative.
