Archiving patient record documents

Healthcare providers are responsible for ensuring that their patient’s medical records are processed in accordance with the Swedish Patient Data Act and the National Board of Health and Welfare’s regulations and general advice on record keeping and processing of personal data within among others, the area of healthcare (HSLF-FS). According to the Swedish Patient Data Act, patient records must be kept available for ten years after the last note has been made in the journal. The Swedish Patient Data Act complements the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and shall be applied by all government and private healthcare providers.
