More people see patient records than you think — and that's a big problem.
A patient comes to your clinic. They think only the doctor sees their report. But think again. The receptionist types their name and phone number. The billing staff sees their test results. The software company stores everything on their server. By the time one report is done, eight or nine people may have already seen it. Does this happen in your clinic or lab too?
Imagine a patient's blood report is sent on WhatsApp to the billing team. Then forwarded to the software vendor for a billing issue. Then shared with an outside IT person for a system problem. That one report has now gone to four people. Under the new DPDPA law, your clinic is responsible for all of this. You must know who sees patient information. You must control how it moves. A patient report is not like a normal office file.
Make a list of every person who sees patient records in your clinic.
Tell your staff: do not forward patient reports on WhatsApp without permission.
