Your medical data and consent via MyMitz

Healthcare providers should share your medical data only with your consent. You manage your consent choices easily and securely in one central place: MijnMitz. This is an online facility where you decide which healthcare providers are allowed to share your data and under which conditions.

Mitz is a joint initiative of Dutch healthcare providers and is supported by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport. Currently, your GP requests your choice verbally, in writing or digitally. With Mitz, you can easily view your choice and see who consulted your data. Eventually, all healthcare providers in the Netherlands will switch to Mitz.

Setting your consent choices

Retrieved from www.MijnMitz.nl you can log in securely with your DigiD to record and manage your consent choices. You have three options:

  1. All your healthcare providers may make your data available
    You give all your healthcare providers permission to make your medical data available to other healthcare providers. They can then access this data electronically via a secure exchange system, but only if this is necessary for your treatment.
  2. Certain healthcare providers may make your medical information available
    You only give permission to a specific healthcare provider, such as your GP, or to a certain group of healthcare providers, for example all pharmacies.
  3. No healthcare provider should make your data available
    You do not give any healthcare provider permission to make your medical data available. Other healthcare providers will then not be able to access your data electronically. This choice also applies to future healthcare providers.

You can change your consent choices at any time.

Why is giving consent important?

Your GP and pharmacy keep important information about your health on their computers. This information is also called your medical records. Healthcare providers can sometimes help you better if they can see your medical data at other healthcare providers.

Suppose you visit the GP surgery and get a GP who does not know you. This GP would like to request data about your health, such as previous treatments or medicine use. Your own GP may only make this data available if you have given permission.

What data is shared and with whom?

Sometimes a healthcare provider needs extra information about your health to help you better. This may include, for example, previous treatments, medication use, possible contraindications (situations in which a particular treatment or medication is not suitable or safe for you) or hypersensitivities. Only data relevant to your treatment will be shared.

Medical data may only be shared with healthcare providers who are currently treating you or will soon be treating you. Thus, an active treatment relationship is always required.

Permission for children under 16

For children under 16, parents or guardians can manage consent choices by logging in to MijnMitz.nl using the child's DigiD. The choice must be confirmed by logging in with the parent or guardian's own DigiD and entering a pairing code.
