THE OBLIGATION TO KEEP THE VACCINE SECRET IN THE ERA OF TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Recently, the development of technology has resulted in the widespread use of IT tools in the field of health care that enable the processing of medical data and remote communication. This, in turn, revealed threats to the guarantee of medical confidentiality.

The main aim of the work was an attempt to indicate contemporary threats to maintaining medical confidentiality resulting from the use of new technologies in medicine. First of all, it is necessary to propose the introduction of a definition of the medical profession and the formulation of a catalog of medical professions, which will eliminate doubts as to who is obliged to maintain the confidentiality of data subject to medical secrecy. Moreover, the rules of confidentiality of persons having access to the patient's medical data, but not those performing medical activities, should be specified. It is also necessary to ensure broader protection of health data obtained as part of the mobile applications used and to raise the awareness of employees of medical facilities about the scale of the threat of cyberattacks.
