🚨 Data Sharing Between Rehabs and Brokers: Are You Compliant?🚨

At EMCAT, we strongly advocate against engaging with patient brokers. However, we recognise that some rehabs may have worked with them in the past or continue to do so. If this applies to you, it’s crucial to review and clarify your data sharing arrangements.

🔍 Key questions to ask:

✅ Are there formal data sharing agreements in place?

✅ Is fully informed consent obtained from patients before their data is shared?

✅ Is data being processed lawfully, in line with GDPR and other relevant regulations?

✅ Are patients fully aware of the purpose of the data sharing and any fees or commissions being charged?

Without a legally protective written agreement, patient data is at risk, and your organisation could face serious compliance issues. Non-compliance isn’t just a legal risk—it undermines trust and the ethical standards we strive to uphold in the healthcare sector.
