Abstract

Legal protection for doctors in opening midical records. This study aims to analyze the legal protection provided to physicians in disclosing medical records and the limitations governing this practice. Medical records are confidential documents protected by law, but under certain circumstances they may be disclosed for legal, health, or other purposes as regulated by statutory regulations. The research method used is normative legal research with a statutory and conceptual approach. The results indicate that physicians have an obligation to maintain the confidentiality of patient medical records, but also have the right to disclose medical records under certain circumstances, such as with patient consent, a statutory order, or a request from law enforcement. Legal protection is provided to physicians as long as the disclosure of medical records is carried out in accordance with applicable legal procedures and provisions. Furthermore, physicians cannot be held legally liable if the disclosure of medical records is carried out in good faith and for legitimate purposes. In conclusion, legal protection for physicians in disclosing medical records depends on compliance with applicable legal provisions and the principles of confidentiality and professionalism. Therefore, medical personnel need to have a good understanding of the limitations and procedures for disclosing medical records to avoid legal risks.
