Sharing medical data: only with your consent!
We will pass on the results of your test at Diagnostiek voor U to the healthcare provider who requested the test. This is usually your GP or obstetrician. In some cases, it may be necessary for other healthcare providers to access your data as well, such as if you unexpectedly have to go to another doctor or pharmacy. We may only share these data if you give us permission to do so.
Why is it important to allow us to share your data?
- When all healthcare providers involved in your treatment have the same data:
- you do not have to tell the same story over and over again.
- you do not have to take the same tests time and time again. - If you are on holiday elsewhere in the country and forget your medication, a local pharmacy will easily be able to help out
- In emergencies, the doctor on duty at the GP surgery or emergency room will be able to access your details so that they can treat you quickly, properly and safely.
What data do we share?
Our client records contain your personal data and the results of tests which you have had performed by us, including blood test results and ECG results. We share this data only if you have given us permission to do so and only if it is necessary for your treatment.
Who is allowed to access your data?
Only healthcare providers who are currently treating you may request your data, provided they need your data for your treatment. This includes GPs, pharmacies, medical specialists and their stand-ins. Health insurers, company doctors and employers are not allowed to access your data.
Privacy
Your privacy is very important to us. We only use secure technologies to exchange your data, possibly in combination with secure networks that can only be accessed by healthcare providers who meet strict security requirements.
Data exchange improves services
We work with a research agency to conduct client satisfaction surveys. These surveys are not anonymous and we need your consent to conduct them.
