Directory of Records

The Halton Healthcare Directory of Records is based on our Record Retention and Destruction Policy-Non Patient Care Records and the Appendix A–Record Inventory & Retention Schedules. The Appendix A–Record Inventory & Retention Schedules reflect the primary functions that particular record supports.

They are divided into the following six (6) major categories:

1. Corporate/Administrative/Board/Redevelopment
2. Financial/Payroll
3. Procurement/Materials Management
4. Human Resources/Occupational Health
5. Quality/Risk Management
6. Medical Staff Office

Within each record category, there is a listing of the types of records that relate to that function/activity or subject.

Although the general structure of the Record Retention and Destruction Policy and the Appendix A–Record Inventory & Retention Schedules has been established, the specific record types within each category may change over time.

Record types that have an asterisk* identify those that are also Personal Information Banks (PIBs) and are also be listed on the PIB page. They provide additional details regarding the type of personal information maintained, location, use, users and retention.

Questions about the PIBs should be directed to the Privacy Officer.
