Installing and monitoring the image head may as well \”think a few more steps\”

Recently, someone posted a video saying that a camera was installed in the locker room of a hospital\’s radiology department, which was suspected of infringing on the patient\’s privacy. The staff of the hospital responded that the camera was used to shoot the door of the computer room and would not take pictures of the locker room. They would consider installing partitions to eliminate misunderstandings in the future. Previously, similar incidents also occurred. Some patients reported that cameras were found in the hospital\’s obstetrics and gynecology department, reproductive health diagnosis room and other departments.For privacy violations.

When seeing a doctor, patients need to show their condition to the medical staff frankly, and medical staff need to conduct in-depth and meticulous consultations and examinations, which means that patients need to transfer part of their privacy rights to medical staff to a certain extent. At present, many hospitals install surveillance cameras to improve their own safety and preventive capabilities and use them to record and regulate medical behavior. The original intention of installing a surveillance camera is to protect the rights and interests of both doctors and patients, so that everyone can feel more at ease and at ease during the diagnosis and treatment process. However, if a surveillance camera is installed in non-essential areas, it may increase the patient\’s medical concerns, and even inadvertently infringe on the patient\’s privacy rights.

my country continues to improve its policy and regulatory system to protect patients\’ privacy. The Civil Code proposes that medical institutions and their medical staff should keep the patient\’s privacy and personal information confidential. The Basic Medical and Health and Health Promotion Law and the Physician Law also have relevant provisions. According to the relevant provisions of the \”Regulations on the Management of Public Safety Video Image Information Systems\” that will come into effect on April 1 this year, as a public place, medical institutions should install image acquisition equipment and related facilities as necessary to maintain public safety; it is prohibited to install image acquisition equipment and related facilities in public locker rooms and other areas and parts that can photograph, peep and eavesdrop on other people\’s privacy after installing image acquisition equipment.

Medical institutions should actively implement these regulations, reasonably determine the installation location, angle and collection range of image acquisition equipment, and set significant prompt marks. For patient information collected by surveillance cameras installed in necessary areas, an information call registration system should be established through technical measures such as authorization management and access control, and personnel confidentiality training should be carried out to prevent abuse and leakage.

The hospital respects patients\’ privacy rights and cares about patients\’ experience in medical treatment, demonstrating the hospital\’s level of rule of law, level of civilization and governance capabilities. When installing surveillance cameras, hospitals need to \”think a few more steps\” and empathize with patients more to ensure that while meeting the hospital\’s safety prevention needs, patients\’ privacy is protected in compliance and legally.
