Disclosure directives

What is a Disclosure Directive?

A Disclosure Directive hides your clinical information from eChart Manitoba users. It does not hide your name, personal health identification number, date of birth or address.

Can anyone override a Disclosure Directive?

No. Only health-care providers with the highest level of access to eChart Manitoba can temporarily override a Disclosure Directive. Health-care providers may override a Disclosure Directive where considered necessary to obtain relevant information to prepare for or provide you with safe quality care. These health-care providers are required to provide a reason each time they override a disclosure Directive. All overrides are recorded and may be subject to an audit.
