EHDS Article 6. Right of natural persons to rectification
- Electronic health data access services referred to in Article 4 shall enable natural persons to easily request online the rectification of their personal electronic health data in accordance with Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Where appropriate, the controller shall verify with a relevant health professional the accuracy of the information provided in the request. Member States may also enable natural persons to exercise online other rights pursuant to Chapter III of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 through electronic health data access services.
Relevant Recitals for this Article
Regulation (EU) 2016/679 sets out specific provisions concerning the rights of natural persons in relation to the processing of their personal data. The EHDS builds upon those rights and complements some of them as applied to personal electronic health data. Those rights apply regardless of the Member State in which the personal electronic health data are processed, type of healthcare provider, sources of those data or Member State of affiliation of the natural person. The rights and rules related to the primary use of personal electronic health data under this Regulation concern all categories of those data, irrespective of how they have been collected or who has provided them, the legal ground for the processing under Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or the status of the controller as a public or private organisation. The additional rights of access and portability of personal electronic health data provided for in this Regulation should be without prejudice to the rights of access and portability as established under Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Natural persons continue to have those rights under the conditions set out in that Regulation.
Enabling natural persons to more easily and quickly access their personal electronic health data will enable them to notice possible errors such as incorrect information or incorrectly attributed patient records. In such cases, natural persons should be able to request online the rectification of the incorrect personal electronic health data, immediately and free of charge, through an electronic health data access service. Such rectification requests should then be treated by the relevant controllers in line with Regulation (EU) 2016/679, if necessary involving health professionals with a relevant specialisation and responsible for the natural persons’ treatment.
