Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to identify the reasons why cases of leakage of patient personal data often occur in the health sector. This paper also analyzes personal data protection regulations in the health sector from a comparative legal perspective between Indonesia, Singapore and the European Union (EU). Design/methodology/approach This type of research is legal research. The research approach used is the statute approach and conceptual approach. The focus of this study in this research is Indonesia with a comparative study in Singapore and the EU. Findings Cases of leakage of patient personal data in Indonesia often occur. In 2021, the data for 230,000 COVID-19 patients was leaked and sold on the Rapid Forums dark web forum. A patient’s personal data is a human right that must be protected. Compared to Singapore and the EU, Indonesia is a country that does not yet have a law on the protection of personal data. This condition causes cases of leakage of patients’ personal data to occur frequently. Research limitations/implications This study analyzes the regulation and protection of patients’ personal data in Indonesia, Singapore and the EU to construct a regulatory design for the protection of patients’ personal data. Practical implications The results of this study are useful for constructing regulations governing the protection of patients’ personal data. The regulation is to protect the patient’s personal data like a patient’s human right. Social implications The ideal regulatory design can prevent data breaches. Based on the results of comparative studies, in Singapore and the EU, cases of personal data leakage are rare because they have a regulatory framework regarding the protection of patients’ personal data. Originality/value Legal strategies that can be taken to prevent and overcome patient data breaches include the establishment of an Act on Personal Data Protection; the Personal Data Protection Commission; and management of patients’ personal data.

患者个人数据保护:比较印度尼西亚、新加坡和欧盟的医疗保健法规

目的本文旨在找出卫生部门经常发生患者个人数据泄露案件的原因。本文还从印度尼西亚、新加坡和欧盟的比较法律角度分析了卫生部门的个人数据保护条例。这种类型的研究是法律研究。本文采用的研究方法是法规法和概念法。本研究以印尼为研究重点，并对新加坡和欧盟进行比较研究。发现在印尼，病人个人资料外泄的个案时有发生。2021年，23万名新冠肺炎患者的数据被泄露并在暗网论坛Rapid Forums上出售。病人的个人资料是一项必须受到保护的人权。与新加坡和欧盟相比，印度尼西亚是一个尚未制定个人数据保护法律的国家。这种情况导致病人个人资料外泄的个案频繁发生。本研究通过分析印尼、新加坡和欧盟对患者个人数据的监管与保护，构建患者个人数据保护的监管设计。实践意义本研究的结果对构建患者个人数据保护的法规具有借鉴意义。该规定是为了保护患者的个人数据，就像保护患者的人权一样。社会影响理想的监管设计可以防止数据泄露。根据比较研究的结果，在新加坡和欧盟，个人数据泄露的案例很少，因为他们有一个关于患者个人数据保护的监管框架。可用于预防和克服患者数据泄露的法律策略包括制定《个人数据保护法》;个人资料保护委员会;以及对患者个人资料的管理。
