Data protection in healthcare – regulations and solutions

Staff in hospitals, doctors' offices and in other medical institutions deal with sensitive information about their patients’ every day. Information related to health is regarded as particularly sensitive and in need of protection.

As of 25th May 2018, the European General Data Protection Regulation controls the processing of EU citizens' personal data and particularly protects the „Processing of special categories of personal data“ (article 9) to which belongs, amongst others, “data related to health” (article 4).

In case of data breaches/violations, severe penalties will be imposed.

Medical facilities must take all necessary measures to prevent the accessing of personal data by unauthorised third parties. This applies to paper files in the archive as well as to electronic files on the PC. In times of digitisation, this is an increasing challenge (regarding data protection) for doctors, nurses, therapists, and all healthcare professionals.

So how do hospitals, medical practices, and other medical facilities ensure that, in times of chip cards and digital patient records, sensitive data is only made available to those authorised? And how can it be made safe, quick, and easy? The answer is: Cryptshare.

You need to exchange large files quickly and securely?

Radiographs, CT scans, laboratory results, patient records and so on are exchanged daily within your building and with other healthcare facilities. Do you want to treat the sensitive information of your patients confidentially? Of course. And you are faced with the challenge of handling the predominantly large files safely at different locations and on different devices.

Today, information is usually exchanged by e-mail. However, when you send large amounts of data, you quickly reach size limits. Secure solutions such as S/MIME or PGP are too complicated and impractical to handle, and impose size limits, too. They are also cost-intensive.

A much faster and more cost-effective way to share large data volumes is via FTP servers and cloud solutions such as Dropbox. However, neither meets the legal requirements or regulatory framework nor the need for protection of personal data. However, these transfer options, amongst others, are used in hospitals, medical practices, and therapy centres because no practical option is available. This is called shadow IT.

Medical facilities must provide their staff with the right tools so that they can deal with the data entrusted to them in a truly responsible manner. With Cryptshare, you can exchange data of any size, completely ad hoc and highly securely.
