Processing sensitive personal data is inevitable for every healthcare institution, healthcare provider, and manufacturers and distributors of medicine or medical devices.
Given the strict regulations that must be adhered to in such data processing, proper legal support and continuous monitoring of internal processes and organization are of crucial importance.
To handle these types of matters, we have an extensive amount of expertise and have an in-house certified Data Protection Officer (DPO) who focuses on the healthcare sector.
Some examples of our work in data protection and privacy in the healthcare sector include:
- advising on data protection, including the obligations imposed on healthcare institutions and healthcare providers by the GDPR;
- assisting healthcare institutions or their practices in becoming GDPR-compliant, such as editing their general regulations’ addenda, their privacy policies, their contracts with data processors, etc.;
- offering specific advice on the storage and retention of sensitive personal data in patient files, as well as on the granting of access to these types of data.
