HIPAA would apply to Canadian organizations that do business in the U.S.
or interact with the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services or
other U.S. covered entities. I would recommend getting legal counsel in
this area as well as to find out what other similar laws Canada has
before proceeding any further. In the meantime, you can check out this
Web site on the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents
Act in Canada that has HIPAA-like personal information protection
requirements.
