Maintaining patient records is a central and legally required part of healthcare practice, essential for ensuring high standards of patient care, safety, and quality.

The fundamental requirements for data processing and confidentiality are governed primarily by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), alongside professional standards and applicable medical device regulations within the European Union.

A patient record must be clear, easy to understand, and should only contain the information necessary for safe and high-quality care. In line with GDPR principles and professional standards, the record should always include:

Requirements for Handling and Preservation

• Entry Time: Data must be entered into the record as soon as possible after the care encounter.

• Rectification: Information in the record must not be erased or rendered illegible. When correcting an error, it must be clearly indicated when the correction was made and who made it.

• Preservation: A patient record must be retained for a minimum period (often ten years in national legislation) after the final entry was made.

• Confidentiality: The healthcare provider must ensure that data is accessible, accurate, confidential, and traceable.
