Authorized bodies

Some bodies are assigned access authorizations to release or receive your health information through the Québec Health Record.

The Regulation respecting access authorizations and the duration of use of information held in a health information bank in a clinical domain specifies the information each type of body can release or consult. At least one authorized provider must perform their duties in the body in order for access authorizations to be granted to that body.
