Navigating privacy dilemmas in crisis response. COVID-19 response in New Zealand healthcare
Presented by Alfred Chikomba

Have you ever imagined how healthcare organisations protect your privacy when responding to a crisis? What happens when there is a conflict of interest from organisations wanting to use the data to expedite the crisis response? How best should healthcare organisations manage data when responding to a crisis? In this presentation, part of a PhD thesis, Alfred will talk about how healthcare organisations in New Zealand addressed privacy issues and associated challenges during the COVID-19 response, providing practical insights into privacy compliance and risk management.
