Download your copyNotice of BORN Ontario Cybersecurity Incident
BORN Ontario is a prescribed perinatal and child registry that is funded by the province’s Ministry of Health. BORN Ontario was the victim of a cybersecurity incident earlier this year and your information may have been impacted. The incident was caused by a vulnerability in the file transfer software BORN Ontario utilized, called MOVEit.
We are among the many Ontario healthcare providers that share personal health information with BORN Ontario related to pregnancy, birth and newborn care – important healthcare encounters that can affect lifelong health. BORN collects data from healthcare providers pursuant to the authority afforded to it in the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA). BORN Ontario uses this information to identify immediate care gaps affecting individuals, link information to appropriate care providers, perform health system quality assurance, and analyze data for emerging trends.
For specific details about the incident, and to find out if your or someone in your family’s information may have been impacted, please visit the BORN Ontario website www.bornincident.ca
Atteinte à la cybersécurité chez BORN Ontario
BORN Ontario est un registre de renseignements sur les soins périnataux et infantiles autorisé et financé par le ministère de la Santé de l’Ontario.
BORN a connu un incident de cybersécurité plus tôt cette année qui a peut-être impliqué vos renseignements de santé. Le tout résulte d’une vulnérabilité du logiciel de transfert de fichiers MOVEit dont BORN s’est servi.
Nous figurons parmi les nombreux prestataires de soins qui transmettent à BORN des renseignements personnels sur la santé liés aux soins reçus pendant la grossesse, l’accouchement et la petite enfance, soins importants pouvant influencer la santé à long terme. BORN recueille ces données auprès des prestataires selon l’autorisation prévue par la Loi sur la protection des renseignements personnels sur la santé.
BORN utilise les données pour repérer des lacunes dans les soins de santé, acheminer de l’information aux prestataires appropriés, assurer la qualité du système de santé et déceler les tendances émergentes.
Pour en savoir plus sur l’incident et déterminer si vos données ou celles de vos proches ont été affectées, consultez le www.bornincident.ca/fr

Parking lots with the gated system have three payment options - cash, VISA or MasterCard. The parking system cannot take debit at this time.

Alternatively, you can take a ticket upon entry into the parking lot. Bring the ticket into the hospital with you – do not leave it in your vehicle. There are kiosks at the entrances where you can pay by cash, VISA or MasterCard before leaving the building. If you have a ticket, you can also use your VISA or MasterCard to pay at the exit gate. You would need to insert your ticket into the machine, followed by your VISA or MasterCard.
