Patient Privacy Policy
Treatment of Patients’ Personal Information
One of Samsung Medison’s social responsibilities is to recognize the importance of patient
privacy and to handle and protect the personal information provided by our patients in an
appropriate manner.
Patient information stored in repaired and demo products should be handled as follows:
• Patient Information: Refers to information, such as IDs, names, DOBs, and images, which
can be used to identify specific patients.
• Patient Information Management: Personal information provided by patients must be
managed carefully and solely for the purposes of repairs and demonstrations of Samsung
Medison products, and they must not be used for unauthorized purposes, be lost, be revised,
or be shared with a third party.
Management of Patient Information on Demo and Trade
Products
• Patient information stored on a product during the course of its use must be handled as the
patient desires. (delete or backup)
• When completing a demonstration and/or collecting a trade product, patient information must
be deleted if so requested by the client, to prevent its unintended distribution to outside
parties.
Management of Patient Information on Repaired Hospital
Products
• Before removing the product from hospital premises for repairs, all patient information should
be backed up to a storage device such as external HDD or memory, and then handed over
to the hospital.
• Before removing the product from hospital premises, each patient should sign the patient
privacy agreement.
