Recital 13

Enabling natural persons to more easily and quickly access their personal electronic health data will enable them to notice possible errors such as incorrect information or incorrectly attributed patient records. In such cases, natural persons should be able to request online the rectification of the incorrect personal electronic health data, immediately and free of charge, through an electronic health data access service. Such rectification requests should then be treated by the relevant controllers in line with Regulation (EU) 2016/679, if necessary involving health professionals with a relevant specialisation and responsible for the natural persons’ treatment.
