Our approach<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Data protection applied to medical reality<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

In health, privacy cannot remain in generic documents. It must work in daily care: from the patient's medical history and consent, to the use of medical software, laboratories, insurers, digital channels and internal management of sensitive information. <\/p>\n

At Tempo Legal we turn the LOPDP into clear processes, useful documents and applicable measures for your institution to protect your patients and reduce legal risks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
\n

Does your health institution really comply with the LOPDP or does it only depend on medical confidentiality?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n

The healthcare sector processes highly sensitive data by law. This exposes clinics, laboratories and aesthetic centers to critical gaps if they do not have a comprehensive system in place. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Critical management of medical records:<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Accessible clinical files, lab results, and medical diagnostics without levels of encryption or tight control.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Risk in the supply chain:<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Share data with insurers, cloud medical software systems, and strategic partners without regulated processor contracts.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Internal systems and controls exposed:<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Daily use of surveillance cameras, biometric controls of personnel and computer platforms vulnerable to leaks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Unexpected audits or complaints:<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Imminent demand from parent companies, allied insurers or direct sanctioning requirements from the Regulatory Authority.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Objections vs. Reality <\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\"We already have medical confidentiality and medical history\"<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\uf058<\/span><\/span><\/div>

The reality: Professional secrecy does not cover the informational, retention, or treatment registration parameters required by the LOPDP.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\uf057<\/span><\/span><\/div>

\"This only applies to large hospitals\"<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
\uf058<\/span><\/span><\/div>

The reality: Every practice, beauty center, pharmaceutical or laboratory that processes patient data must demonstrate regulatory compliance regardless of its size.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
