6. Select the LHIN according to your geographical region.
- "Organization Type" "Sole Physician or Physician Group Practice"
- "Organization Name" - you must enter your own Organization (could be your MPC or, if not incorporated, simply your name. Please do not enter Rocket Doctor here as we are not a clinic).
- "Site Name" - same as "Organization Name"
- "Site Address" - address of your primary practice address. This address will be used on the Legal agreement with eHealth Ontario and not published anywhere)
- "Is the organization a HIC within the meaning of the Personal Health Information Protection Act?" - Yes (since you are the Health information custodian for all your charts)
7. Questions for the last Step 4 are to be answered depending on your clinic's details (ie if your MPC has more than 1 employee or site, or if you are an Individual practitioner it would be 1 employee and likely 1 site)
Legal status depends on whether you are Incorporated or not
8. The last set of questions in Step 4 also depend on your clinic situation; in most cases you (the MD) will be the Signing Authority, Privacy Officer, and Security Officer (applies to most Individual practitioners and MPCs)
