Which healthcare providers can share information?

In table 1 below we briefly summarize which healthcare providers are allowed to share data from your file. You can read more about the data that can be shared further on.

*The healthcare professionals who may share data are: general practitioners, doctors for the mentally handicapped, acting general practitioners, pharmacists, medical specialists, nurse specialists, physician assistants, psychiatrists and geriatric specialists.
 

Table 2 contains a list of healthcare providers who can request data from your medical file AFTER you have given permission to your general practitioner or pharmacies.

Your GP file

Only acting general practitioners can view your medical data with your general practitioner or doctor for the mentally handicapped. For example when you come to the After hours medical centre. Or if you visit an observer in his practice. Other healthcare providers cannot view this information.

A trial is currently underway in the Groningen region. The doctor at the emergency department in the hospital can also request a summary of your general practitioner file there.

Your medication file and information about allergies and hypersensitivity to certain medicines

Healthcare providers who can view the medication file at your pharmacy or pharmacies:

• The (acting) general practitioner or doctor for the mentally handicapped.
• Other (service) pharmacies.
• Medical specialists (in hospitals and other affiliated healthcare organisations).
• Nursing specialists and physician assistants

Who cannot view your data?

Other healthcare providers, such as a company doctor, (company) health and safety officer, health insurance companies, and the government cannot connect to the National Exchange Point. And without it they cannot access any of your medical data.
