Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal sets a framework for the portability of medical information between hospitals, health funds and other health services through a secure technological interface. The information will be transferred with the patient's consent and only for purposes set in the law (continuity of care, switching between health funds). The Minister of Health will set regulations for the protection of privacy, cybersecurity and risk management. A service provider may transfer information only if it is recognized as an authorized user of the interface, and will be required to keep the information confidential and delete it when it is no longer needed. The law imposes penalties for submitting false information.
