Pogorelčnik, Kaja (author), Žnidaršič Skubic, Viktorija (mentor)

Varstvo zasebnosti in osebnih podatkov pacienta je ena ključnih pravic pacienta pri zdravstveni oziroma medicinski obravnavi. Zakon o pacientovih pravicah jo v 5. členu posebej omenja kot eno od pacientovih pravic. S spoštovanjem pravice do varstva zasebnosti in varstva osebnih podatkov pacienta se varuje njegovo dostojanstvo, hkrati pa zdravniki, zdravstveni delavci in zdravstveni sodelavci s tem ravnajo v skladu z medicinsko etiko, načelom spoštovanja zasebnosti in načelom spoštovanja osebnosti in dostojanstva. Pravica do varstva zasebnosti in osebnih podatkov pacientov v današnjem času postaja vedno pomembnejša, saj je z razvojem informacijske tehnologije dostop do podatkov lažji in hitrejši. Prav zato je na tem mestu pomembna pravna ureditev pravice do varstva zasebnosti in osebnih podatkov pacienta in ukrepi, ki jih v ta namen predvideva nacionalna zakonodaja. Pri tem so pomembni preventivni ukrepi in možnosti, ki jih ima pacient, če pride do kršitve te pravice. Magistrsko delo prinaša presojo primernosti ureditve varstva pravice do zasebnosti in varstva osebnih podatkov pacientov v slovenskem pravnem redu. V povezavi s slednjo je ocenjena tudi ustreznost sankcij za kršitve obravnavane pravice pacienta. Ugotavljam, da slednje niso vedno uspešne oziroma dovolj učinkovite.

• Title: Right to protection of privacy and protection of patient personal data

Abstract

The protection of the patient's privacy and personal data is one of the key rights of the patient in medical treatment. Article 5 of the Patients' Rights Act specifically mentions it as one of the essential patient's rights. Respecting the patient's right to privacy and protection of personal data protects his dignity, while doctors, nurses and other medical workers act in accordance with medical ethics, the principle of respect for privacy and the principle of respect for personality and dignity. The right to protection of patients' privacy and personal data is becoming increasingly important nowadays, as access to information is made easier and faster with the development of information tehnology. That is why the legal regulation of the right to privacy and personal data od the patient and the measures provided for in this regard by national law are important here. Preventive measures and the possibilities available to the patient in the event of a violation of this right are important. The main purpose of the master's thesis was to determine the adequacy of the regulation of the protection of the right to privacy and the protection of personal data of patients in the Slovenian legal system. In this connection also assess the appropriateness of sanctions for violations of this patient's right.
