Analysis of the Legal Aspects Concerning Data Protection in Electronic Medical Registry
Journal Title: Applied Medical Informatics - Year 2009, Vol 25, Issue 3
Abstract
The European and national legislation establish legal aspects regarding personal data protection in electronic records. The protection of medical personal data can be improved in relation with development of new modalities for medical evidence and electronic health storage, even if laws already establish some aspects. Development and implementations of e-Health approaches revealed the necessity of creation of new adapted and functional laws needed to solve critical health conditions, conditions that are more important than to date than law constrains regarding personal data protection.
