As such, the Brussels Health Network never accesses the content of medical documents but acts as a technical subcontractor for healthcare professionals.<\/p>\n In line with the spirit of the Patient Rights Act, access to a patient\u2019s data is granted by the healthcare professional who generated the information. This professional is the only one authorized to determine whether the legal conditions for access are met (e.g., no data concerning third parties, protection of the patient\u2019s interests, application of a therapeutic exception, prevention of pressure from insurers, etc.).<\/p>\n For minors, the law allows healthcare professionals to decide if a young person demonstrates sufficient maturity and is \u201ccapable of reasonably assessing their own interests.\u201d In such cases, certain medical actions may be performed without parental consent or knowledge.<\/p>\n However, the Brussels Health Network currently lacks the technical tools to allow healthcare professionals to flag such specific situations and block access for legal representatives when necessary. Moreover, the legal framework remains insufficiently explicit on these issues.<\/p>\n Given this ambiguity and at the request of healthcare professionals, access to data for patients aged 13 to 16 has been temporarily restricted on the Brussels Health Network. This preventive measure aims to safeguard the confidentiality and rights of minor patients until an official position from the authorities is established.<\/p>\n From the age of 16, young people manage their access to the network themselves.<\/p>\n We hope this explanation helps clarify why access to data for minors aged 13 to 16 is currently limited on the Brussels Health Network.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” ul_font=”||||||||” ol_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||2px|||” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”zone-2″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” link_font=”||||on||||” ul_font=”||||||||” ol_font=”||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n In the absence of a legal representative appointed by the adult patient, the patient\u2019s legislative rights provides that where the patient is mentally incompetent to make a decision, the administrator of the person, his close spouse or parent may have to make a decision on the person\u2019s behalf (in priority order provided in the law). As part of the shared digital health records, this means that the decision to consent to data sharing could be performed by one of the persons referred to above.<\/p>\n If the patient is not incapacitated anymore, he or she can obviously withdraw consent at any time.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” ul_font=”||||||||” ol_font=”||||||||” custom_margin=”||2px|||” custom_padding=”0px||0px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”zone-3″ _builder_version=”4.27.3″ _module_preset=”default” link_font=”||||on||||” ul_font=”||||||||” ol_font=”||||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n When the patient experiences a loss of autonomy <\/strong>and has difficulty managing his or her medical file,<\/strong> a person or persons of trust may be nominated.
