How will my clinic records be maintained?

Preventative healthcare records associated with employment-related occupational health services are considered employee health records. They are handled in a confidential manner and securely stored.

Electronic copies of occupational health records are maintained in PEP on the User’s private Snapshot Occupational Health folder. This folder is only accessible by the individual and PEP administration.

If a participant wants to share their records, they may print and distribute these records from their personal account. The R-OHSP program will limit the sharing of information to what is mandatory for research-related activities. Managers do not have access to their employee’s occupational health folder in PEP. Managers are encouraged to contact the employee directly regarding any request for health records.
