The Confidential Information Management (CIM) Code of Practice Policy (16.6.2P) is Island Health's foundational confidential information handling policy. The policy supports the authority’s ethical, professional, and legal requirements to value each individual and bring trust to every relationship. The policy sets out ten foundational practice behaviours to guide Island Health staff, medical staff and agents in appropriate handling of confidential information.
Medical staff taking the CIM Code of Practice Course for the first time can access the course on LearningHub HERE. All Island Health medical staff are required to renew CIM certification annually. Annual renewal only takes a few minutes to complete and can be done at the same LearningHub link. Please note that there is a unique CIM course for medical staff (course #35585). Medical staff must complete CIM course #35585 to receive CPD credit.
