Registration of personal information

Personal and medical details are registered in the hospital. All specialists and employees are obliged to treat this information as confidential. The Privacy of Information Act (Wet Bescherming Persoonsgegevens) describes how organisation must handle personal information.

General information
Your name, address and certain other details will be registered at the Reception Desk in the central hall. Bronovo Hospital uses a central computer system that is linked with the other hospitals in The Hague. Your patient identification information is therefore also available in these hospitals.

Strict regulations
The Bronovo-Nebo foundation is subject to very strict regulations concerning patient information. Strict rules determine who, for example, may access, read or copy this information. Our foundation has an excellent privacy protection policy. All the regulations concerning the recording of and use of such information are laid down in a document entitled “Reglement ter bescherming van de persoonlijke levenssfeer in verband met de gehouden persoonsregistraties binnen de Stichting” (Regulations for Privacy Protection of Personal information at the Bronovo-Nebo Foundation). A copy of these regulations is available (only in Dutch) from the Bureau Voorlichting & Documentatie (Information and Documentation Office) in the Central Hall.
