The circle of care is not a defined term under PHIPA [Personal Health Information Protection Act]. It is a term of reference used to describe health information custodians and their authorized agents who are permitted to rely on an individual' s implied consent when collecting, using, disclosing or handling personal health information for the purpose of providing direct health care. In a physician's office, the circle of care would include : the physician, the nurse, a specialist or other health care provider referred by the physician, and any other health care professional selected by the patient, such as a registered dietitian, pharmacist or physiotherapist. In a hospital, the circle of care would include : the attending physician and the health care team(e. g., residents, nurses, registered dietitians, technicians, clinical clerks and employees assigned to the patient) who have direct responsibilities of providing care to the individual. 2, record 7, English, - circle%20of%20care
