Data Protection Impact Assessments and Privacy by Design
To make sure our patients information is secure we (the Trust ) follow a privacy by design approach to make sure your information and privacy is a top priority for any new system. We use a process known as a Data Privacy Impact Assessment also called a DPIA for screening new systems (or significant changes to existing systems) to highlight any risks to confidential data. Where a DPIA highlights risks these are appropriately managed and action taken to ensure the risk is removed or significantly reduced.
The DPIA is a tool recommended by the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) to help us make sure your data is used properly, legally and securely. You can find out more about the ICO at: https://ico.org.uk .
Who is my personal data shared with?
Your personal data is accessed and used by health care professionals from both the hospital and LAS who are providing you with individual care and treatment.
The Product will enable LAS to also share anonymous aggregated data with Integrated Care Boards about the use of the Product to help improve the Product in the future. This is statistical counts of data that don’t identify you. It is therefore not personal data. Read more about this (the document will download to your device).
