A practical tool for assessment the GDPR requirements implementation in hospitals at the level of nurses’ desk
Journal Title: Applied Medical Informatics - Year 2019, Vol 41, Issue 0
Abstract
Nowadays, most healthcare providers have deployed large information systems in order toautomate as much as possible the medical workflow. Besides this, more and more centers sharemedical information such as images, test results and so forth in an ongoing attempt to minimizethe time required to make a therapeutic intervention. While the benefits of all these are wellknown, a new challenge has to deal with, namely assurance of patient data protection. This iscrucial, especially since we sensitive medical information is shared. The new EU Regulation 679/ 2016 has specific requirements for personal data protection. Regulators but also accreditationbodies have to assess if there is an adequate level of privacy for personal medical data. Thepaper outlines a novel tool in order to assess the fact just previously mentioned at the mostcritical step of data processing: nurses and medical operator. Fulfillment the requirements ofthe new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are also important in Romania since theHospitals’ Accreditation Body has to assess when performing general hospital quality assuranceassessment. The main focus is at the level of nurses who, in Romania, are also in charge withpatient data input, data dissemination, output, and communication. Therefore, at this level(nurses) most data leakage might occur. This is especially true since these tasks are side-part oftheir main activity: medical assistance and their limited training with data protection conceptsand practice in an electronic in most of the time online environment.
