Who we are and what we do
The Health PEI Records and Information Management (RIM) team comprises three RIM coordinators, two RIM clerks and the director of Privacy and Information Management. We provide advice, leadership, guidance and assistance to all Health PEI programs and services for managing records in all physical formats in compliance with policies, procedures, standards, guidelines and relevant legislation.
The RIM coordinators are responsible for the planning, promotion, administration and maintenance of the RIM Program for Health PEI.
