- General: OceanMD is a Canadian company that provides integrated solutions to connect patients, providers, and healthcare systems through the secure exchange of healthcare data. Their Platform, Ocean, is used by over 25,000 healthcare professionals and facilitates over 1,000,000 patient engagements every month.

Privacy
Sharing personal health information (PHI) in a private and secure manner between the myriad systems, clinics, providers and patients is no small feat! Fortunately, Ocean was designed from the beginning with these challenges in mind and works by facilitating the transfer of PHI without reading it or storing it beyond what’s necessary for the transfer.
In addition, every clinic has their own private encryption keys that no one at OceanMD can access, and the data lives on our servers for only the minimum amount of time to transfer it safely.
Are you patients asking about privacy? You can direct them to our Patient Information Guide to learn more. Below are a few commonly asked questions and answers:
- Can OceanMD access or sell my personal health information?
No. OceanMD is committed to keeping patient data secure using the most stringent approaches to data security and privacy. Furthermore, since all data is fully encrypted, OceanMD cannot access personal health information in a readable format. In this encrypted state, data is meaningless and can not be commoditized or sold to a third party, including the parent company of OceanMD, WELL Health Inc. - Why are you asking for my birth date or other personal information?
We do this to verify you are the correct recipient of any personal information and mitigate the risk of opening someone else’s message. By default, we ask for your birth date because it is easy to remember, but some clinics may require additional details such as your health card number, a patient record number, or a pre-determined access word. If the information you provide matches the patient record, only then are you be able to view the contents of the message.
