COVID solution - Data Privacy
Our strategy is to treat primary records as being under control of the data subject (patient) through the Healthcare Passport.
This provides the facility for the holder to control who can view their records and under what circumstances. Having collected a medical record Encode Health would not be able to delete it due to regulations but access to the record could be restricted by the data subject.
During original collection of data, the data subject would need to agree to providing analytical access to the results of any COVID-19 test to public health applications for a minimum period.
After this period, confirmation of any ongoing access would be required and could rescind access to analytical applications at any time. The Encode Health essential premise is that access to clinical records is under the control of the data subject and only under very limited circumstances can restrictions be overridden.
Based on the Limitations Act, clinicians and institutions must be granted continued access to records created under their auspices. Beyond such legal access however, everything is under the control of the HP holder.
At the end of the contract we expect to disengage any government connection to the primary data.
