PERSONAL DATA POLICY FOR PATIENT TREATMENT AT PHYSIOPULSE
Welcome as a patient at FYSIOPULS. In connection with your treatments here at the clinic, it is necessary for us to record and process information about you.
​
1. What information do we process?
In connection with your treatment at the clinic, we record information about your health conditions for use in the record-keeping that we are obliged to carry out according to health legislation. The detailed rules can be found in Chapter 6 of the Authorization Act and the Medical Records Order (Bkg. No. 1090 of 28 July 2016 on 1090 on authorized healthcare professionals' patient records). In addition to the health information we record about you ourselves, we may receive health information about you from other health professionals, e.g. your doctor, according to the rules in Chapter 9 of the Health Act. The information is used for good and safe treatment of you and the administrative functions associated with this. We have a duty to store your information securely and confidentially. We may also register other information about you for billing purposes. This information is noted on the basis of the data protection regulation art. 6 pieces. 1, letter b and f [until 25 May 2018: section 6 of the Personal Data Act, subsection 1, No. 2 and No. 7]. [We may also use your contact information for sending newsletters or other marketing measures. In that case, we first obtain your consent. This use is based on the data protection regulation art. 6 pieces. 1, letter a [until 25 May 2018: the Personal Data Act § 6, subsection 1, no. 1].]
2. Disclosure of information
According to the Health Act, we have a duty of confidentiality about your health and other sensitive matters, but if necessary, we can exchange your health information internally among our staff. Dissemination of health information outside the clinic may, as a rule, only take place with your consent. In special cases, according to the rules in the Health Act, disclosure can take place without consent. It will typically be for other healthcare professionals, e.g. your own doctor. The detailed rules on this can be found in Chapter 9 of the Health Act.
The information we have registered for settlement purposes is exchanged with payment intermediaries to the extent necessary to complete the payments. If your treatment is fully or partially paid for by someone other than yourself, e.g. by your region or by an insurance company, we will also pass on information about the treatment to the person who has to pay.
3. How long is the information kept?
Your record is kept for the period determined by the Agency for Patient Safety. The applicable period is 5 years from the latest note in the journal, cf. section 15, subsection of the journal executive order. 2. In special cases, the record can be kept longer. Information used for settlement purposes is stored for as long as is necessary for settlement and accounting purposes.
4. Your rights regarding the information
You can gain insight into which information we have registered about you by contacting us. According to Section 24 of the Authorization Act, we may not delete information in your record, but if you believe that there are errors in the record, you can ask for an addition to be made. For information that is not included in the patient record, you have the right to have incorrect information corrected or deleted. You also have the right to ask us to stop processing such information about you.
