  • Title: [ELGA--the electronic health record in the light of data protection and data security].
    Author: Ströher A, Honekamp W.
    Journal: Wien Med Wochenschr; 2011 Jul; 161(13-14):341-6. PubMed ID: 21858632.
    Abstract:
    The introduction of an electronic health record (ELGA) is a subject discussed for a long time in Austria. Another big step toward ELGA is made at the end of 2010 on the pilot project e-medication in three model regions; other projects should follow. In addition, projects of the ELGA structure are sped up on the part of the ELGA GmbH to install the base of a functioning electronic health record. Unfortunately, many of these initiatives take place, so to speak, secretly, so that in the consciousness of the general public - and that includes not only patients but also physicians and other healthcare providers - always concerns about protection and security of such a storage of health data arouse. In this article the bases of the planned act are discussed taking into account the data protection and data security.
