The suspected leakage of Zhou Haimei's medical records has aroused public concern. Leaking medical records not only violates patient privacy, but can also pose a series of security risks. So, is it illegal for a hospital to leak a patient's medical records?And how can we prevent medical records from being leaked?
According to Article 22 of the Tort Liability Law of the People's Republic of China, medical institutions and their staff shall keep the patient's privacy confidential, and shall bear tort liability if the patient's privacy is disclosed or the patient's medical record information is disclosed without the patient's consent, causing damage to the patient. In addition, the Measures for the Settlement of Medical Disputes also clearly stipulate that medical institutions that leak patients' privacy shall bear corresponding legal responsibility.
Therefore, it is illegal for hospitals to leak patient medical records. Disclosure of patients' privacy may lead to damage to the patient's reputation, secondary physical and mental harm, and the corresponding legal responsibility may be borne.
1.Patient privacy is impaired: Leakage of medical records may lead to the disclosure of patients' personal information, making patients unable to hold their heads up in front of relatives and friends, causing psychological stress.
2.Security risks: After the medical records are leaked, criminals may use the patient's information to commit fraud, malicious infringement and other behaviors, bringing personal and property safety risks to the patient.
3.Medical disputes: Leakage of medical records can lead to medical disputes, affect the reputation of the hospital, and increase conflicts between patients and hospitals.
4.Social trust crisis: The frequent leakage of medical records may lead to a decrease in social trust in medical institutions and affect the healthy development of the entire medical industry.
1.Improve laws and regulations: Strengthen the construction of laws and regulations in the medical industry, clarify the responsibilities and obligations of medical record management, and increase the punishment for medical record leakage.
2.Strengthen the internal management of hospitals: Medical institutions should establish and improve the medical record management system, strengthen the protection of medical record data, and ensure the privacy and security of patients.
3.Improve the legal awareness of medical staff: Strengthen the professional ethics education of medical staff, improve legal awareness, and respect and protect patients' privacy.
4.Technological innovation: the use of modern information technology, such as encryption, identity authentication and other technical means, to ensure the security of medical records in the process of transmission and storage.
5.Protection of patients' rights and interests: Patients have the right to consult and copy their own medical records when they are treated. Medical institutions should take the initiative to inform patients of the relevant regulations on the management of medical records, and improve patients' awareness of self-protection.
Leaking medical records not only violates patient privacy, but can also pose a series of security risks. Hospitals should strengthen internal management, improve the legal awareness of medical staff, and adopt technological innovation to ensure the privacy and security of patients. At the same time, patients should also improve their awareness of self-protection and jointly maintain the healthy development of the medical industry.
