Who does ColonCancerCheck share my personal health information with?
ColonCancerCheck shares your personal health information with you when it gives you your screening results. ColonCancerCheck may also share your personal health information with: • Your primary care provider so that he or she is aware of your screening information and results; • A primary care provider who will provide you with follow-up care if you receive a positive FOBT result and you do not already have a primary care provider; • Cancer planning departments within CCO for the planning and management of the health system; and • Researchers for approved colorectal cancer research. However, researchers must meet specific privacy requirements, such as receiving approval from a Research Ethics Board to conduct the research, receiving approval from the CCO Data Access Committee to receive the information, and entering into an agreement with CCO, before ColonCancerCheck shares your personal health information with them.
