Your personal data and your privacy in our physiotherapy practice

General

The AVG is the new law for the protection of privacy and personal data. On the basis of this law, an organization that works with personal data has certain obligations and the person whose data is concerned has certain rights. In addition to this general law, specific rules apply to privacy in healthcare. These rules are stated in, among other things, the Medical Treatment Contracts Act (WGBO). These privacy regulations are intended to inform you about your rights and our obligations that apply under the GDPR and the WGBO.

Physiotherapy practice

In our physiotherapy practice, various of your personal data can be processed. This is necessary for proper medical treatment and necessary for the financial settlement of the treatment. In addition, processing may be necessary for, for example, combating serious danger to your health or to comply with a legal obligation (for example, the mandatory reporting of an infectious disease under the Public Health Act).

The duties of the physiotherapy practice

Spits Physical Therapy is the data controller under the AVG for the processing of personal data that takes place in the practice. The practice fulfills the obligations arising from this as follows:
• Your data is collected for specific purposes:
• for care provision;
• for effective management and policy;
• to support scientific research, education and information.
• In principle, no processing takes place for other purposes.
• You will be informed that your personal data is being processed. This can be done by your healthcare provider, but also via a folder or via our website.
• All employees within Spits Fysiotherapie are obliged to treat your personal data confidentially.
• Your personal data is well protected against unauthorized access.
• Your personal data will not be kept longer than is necessary for proper care provision.
For medical data, this retention period is in principle 15 years (from the last treatment), unless longer retention is necessary, for example for the health of yourself or your children. This is at the discretion of the practitioner.

Your rights as a data subject:

You have the following rights:
• The right to know whether and which of your personal data are being processed.
• The right to inspect and copy that data (insofar as this does not harm the privacy of another person).
• The right to correction, addition or deletion of data if necessary.
• The right to request (partial) destruction of your medical data. This can only be met if the retention of the data is not of considerable importance to someone else and the data does not have to be retained on the basis of a statutory regulation.
• The right to add a personal statement (of a medical nature) to your file.
• The right to object to the processing of your data in certain cases.
If you wish to exercise your rights, you can inform Spits physiotherapy orally or by means of an application form. Your interests may also be represented by a representative (such as a written representative, or your trustee or mentor).

Explanation of the application form

You should take into account that medical data are in principle kept for a maximum of fifteen years by law. You will help us look up your file and protect your privacy if you fill in the form as completely as possible. The data entered by you will be treated with strict confidentiality by us. Spits Fysiotherapie is not liable for errors in postal delivery. If you prefer to collect the file in person or by an authorized representative, you can indicate this on the form.

Patient information

Please state the details of the person to whom the medical file relates. The Medical Agreement Act (WBGO) considers the patient to be of age from the age of 16. Young people from the age of 16 who want to inspect / copy their medical file must submit the application themselves. If the patient is no longer alive, the provision of the medical data is permitted if it can be assumed that the deceased would not have objected to this or if there are compelling interests to break the care provider’s obligation to remain silent. This decision rests with the healthcare provider.

Provision of your personal data to third parties

The employees of Spits Fysiotherapie are obliged to treat your personal data confidentially. This means, for example, that the healthcare provider requires your explicit consent to provide your personal data. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. On the basis of a statutory provision, the care provider’s obligation to remain silent can be interrupted, but also when there is a serious danger to your health or that of a third party. In addition, recorded data can, if necessary, be exchanged orally, in writing or digitally with other care providers (for example the midwife).

Exchange of data

After you have given specific permission for this, Spits Fysiotherapie exchanges relevant medical data safely and reliably with other care providers such as general practitioners, colleague physiotherapists and other health care institutions.
Medication data can also be shared between the general practitioner and your physiotherapist. This concerns the medication that the doctor has prescribed for you, but also any intolerances, contraindications and allergies. Other prescribers and providers of medication can take this into account. In this way, as a physiotherapist, we contribute to medication safety.

Transfer of your file

When choosing a new physical therapist, it is important that your new physical therapist knows your medical history. Your medical history is in your patient file. It is possible that your old physiotherapist will transfer the file to your new physiotherapist. The old physiotherapist will do this as soon as possible, in any case within a month, after you have asked your old physiotherapist to transfer the file to your new physiotherapist.

Question or complaint

Do you have a question or a complaint? For example about who we share data with or how we deal with your medical data? Then the desk clerk or the physiotherapist will be happy to discuss this with you.
