The PIA Requirements are designed to ensure that a custodian evaluates the practice or information system’s compliance with the HIA.
 
The PIA Requirements are mandatory for PIAs submitted under the Health Information Act and should be used for any new project.  We recognize that some custodians will already be in the process of completing a PIA on an existing project using the old PIA questionnaire.  There will be a six month transition time, until September 15, 2010, in which it will be acceptable to submit a PIA using the old PIA questionnaire.

PIA Requirements are posted on the OIPC's website - http://oipc.ab.ca/Content_Files/Files/PIAs/PIA_Requirements_2010.pdf
