The protection of personal data is becoming more and more critical and increasingly represents a quality feature in any field of work. Especially in healthcare, the handling of patient data is a highly sensitive area. This data is always highly personal and demands increased attention to data protection and data security. For this reason, there are separate provisions for the protection of patient data.

The first workshop by JOIN created in the frame of the EU Project SecureHospitals.eu is held in German and serves to raise awareness. It specifically addresses data security from the perspective of health personnel with a focus on emergency services and patient transport.

Our event is suitable as a personnel training in health care and can be flexibly booked via the eLearning platform of Johanniter Austria.
