From next year, people will be able to "manage" their own medical records on their computer or mobile phone and decide who should have access to what information, Health Minister Bruno Bruins has told de Volkskrant. He has allocated €3m to develop what he calls a "personal healthcare environment" by an alliance of patients, health insurers, healthcare providers and the national healthcare IT institute. In the new system, patients will decide which parts of their health records should be included and who should be able to see what information.
