Data security The Prescription Centre is accessible to doctors, dentists, pharmacists, qualified students and nurses with a professional card issued by Population Register Centre (PRC), and access rights to the Prescription Centre appropriate to their professional duties. Access to the information requires an existing treatment or patient relationship and usually the patient s consent. Electronic signatures are used to verify the signer s identity and that the information has not changed during transmission or storage. 18 14.11.2014
Monitoring of information processing Privacy protection and the legality of the information processing are monitored by the health care organisations, pharmacies and Kela. To enable retrospective checks, log files are kept about the use and release of data. Health care providers and pharmacies must designate staff to serve in a monitoring and follow-up capacity and ensure that all staff members receive sufficient training in data security. 19 14.11.2014
Patients can check how their personal information is used Patients can check the use and release of their personal health information.
