What specific requirements exist in healthcare data protection
According to Article 9(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), health data is considered 'special categories of personal data.' These data are classified as 'particularly sensitive,' and processing them is generally prohibited. However, the GDPR provides legal grounds that can lift this prohibition, allowing for the processing of health data in exceptional cases. The specific requirements in data protection management involve limiting the actual data processing to these legal grounds and, at the same time, always being able to demonstrate how the protection objectives defined in Article 5 of the GDPR are achieved for sensitive health data.
