Area of Science:

Medical Informatics
Healthcare Security
Professional Education

Background:

Clinicians are legally obligated to maintain patient data confidentiality.
Data protection training (DPT) is proposed to enhance medical professionals' data management skills.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the prevalence and impact of data protection training (DPT) on clinicians' handling of patient information.
To identify current practices in patient data storage, handling, and disposal.

Main Methods:

Anonymous questionnaires were used to collect data on patient information management and DPT.
Data included practices for handling, storage, and disposal of patient lists.

Main Results:

98.6% of doctors handle sensitive patient lists; improper disposal (15.8%) and removal from premises (57.3%) are common.
43.3% of doctors received DPT, with consultants more likely than trainees.
Doctors with DPT were less likely to remove patient lists from hospitals and showed trends toward better awareness of data security.

Conclusions:

DPT is not widespread but demonstrates potential to enhance the safe handling of patient data.
Increased awareness of data security and institutional policies is associated with DPT completion.
Given expanding data collection, DPT is crucial for maintaining patient data safety.
