Informing patients: a central obligation

Health data warehouses are required to inform patients about the projects using their data. The CNIL cites the publication of a transparency portal as a best practice for meeting this requirement.

Patient rights (GDPR)

The GDPR (art. 13 and 14) guarantees the right of individuals whose data is processed to be informed: purposes of processing, ongoing projects, legal bases and retention periods.

Obligations of health data warehouses

Every health data warehouse must publish the list of authorised study projects using its data, as well as associated reference databases, so that patients can exercise their rights.

CNIL best practice

The CNIL recommends setting up a dedicated transparency portal as the preferred means of meeting the information obligation and demonstrating the warehouse's compliance.
