The data represent facts that gain meaning through processing. Processed sales are called information and as such represent very significant resources today. A special category is represented by sensitive or private data. The need to protect this data initiated the development of legal regulations and guidelines that define the rules of personal data protection. The adoption of the General Regulation of the European Union on the Protection of Personal Data (GDPR) introduced significant changes in the work with private data and prompted changes in the legal regulations at the local level. Medical data belong to the confidential category of data. Bearing in mind the fact that their collection and processing are performed through medical information systems, it is necessary to highlight the importance of their protection in the field of application of information technologies. The widespread use of modern information and communication achievements in business introduces a large number of risks into the process of processing medical data.The aim of this paper is to point out the importance of private data protection in medical information systems, with an emphasis on the need for conscientious participation of all system users and compliance with the rules defined by the guidelines and legal regulations for the protection of private data both at the global and local level.
