Shared electronic health records system

Shared electronic health records system

• Do my medical records contain information about medicines?

  No, Kry doesn't share information about medication through the e-service "Journal" at 1177.se. E-prescriptions printed in Sweden, including those written by doctors at Kry, are saved in the "National drug list list". This means that the prescriptions are available there for other healthcare providers after consent has been obtained. Read more about this at https://lakemedelskollen.ehalsomyndigheten.se/lmkoll-web

• Can anyone else give consent to view my medical record information instead of me?

  No, only you, as the patient, can give your consent.

• Can I block my child’s information?

  No, you cannot block information about your children. Older children can block their information themselves

• What about IT security?

  The Patient Data Act and associated regulations have special provisions regarding the allocation of permissions and access control. The Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection is the supervisory authority, and is responsible for ensuring that these provisions are followed by all healthcare providers that are part of the shared electronic health records system.

• Why was the shared electronic health records system introduced?

  The shared electronic health records system was introduced to strengthen patient privacy, safety and security. The shared electronic health records system enables healthcare professionals to get the full picture of your previous healthcare issues in a simpler, faster and more secure manner. This means that they can give you safe, quality care faster.

• One patient – one medical record?

  No, you still have different medical records at different care providers. The shared electronic health records system enables different healthcare providers to access each other’s information. You are not included in the shared electronic health records system until you, as a patient, consent to this.
