Medical registries in perspective of the new EU’s legal framework of personal data protection - selected issues
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF HEALTH POLICY & OUTCOMES RESEARCH - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Keeping medical registries is inextricably linked with the processing of personal data, which often belong to the most sensitive sphere of privacy of every individual. Creating a comprehensive and complete legislation in this area is a guarantee of proper protection of the privacy and dignity of the patient, and is a part of the optimal model of protection of personal data representing the content of the registers, which is guaranteed both at the level of constitutional and international law. The creation of appropriate legal mechanisms must also be accompanied by a friendly technical and organizational environment. Lack of financial resources to ensure the security of data stored in the medical records may result in the risk of data leaks, unauthorized access to data, or using data for the wrongpurposes. In view of the reform of the EU data protection law the above-mentioned circumstances must be a subject of in-depth analysis.
