PD Registry Online Application Usage Policy

Usage

Users will use PD Registry for its intended use only and in a responsible manner. Users must endeavour to ensure that PD Registry is not placed under undue risk of loss, damage or misuse through their action or inaction.

Confidentiality

Users must only access, view, or update information that is necessary for the performance of their duties. Such information must not be removed, copied, or disclosed to other parties except in accordance with the applicable Health Information or Privacy Laws. Users must ensure that any computer or device they are accessing PD Registry from is properly secured when left unattended. Printed copies of confidential patient information should not be stored in an unsecured location (such as at home, in your car, on USB drives or portable computers).

Username and Passwords

Users must not use another User’s login or disclose their password to any other User. Shared or group logins are not permitted.

Users are responsible for ensuring that other persons (whether they are authorised users or not) do not access PD Registry while they are logged in. If a computer or device is left unattended it must be logged out or locked so it cannot be accessed by other persons. Users are responsible for advising the administrator as soon as possible if they suspect that their password has been disclosed in any way, and should also change their password as soon as possible. Passwords must not be written down, openly displayed, or stored on or near the computer. Passwords must conform with the Password Strength requirements specified by PD Registry Security Policy.
