AVALOS GIMENEZ, Salud  and  FERNANDEZ GARCIA, Nicolás. Historical evolution of compliance with data protection regulations in public hospitals of Spain. Ene. [online]. 2020, vol.14, n.1, 14114.  Epub Jan 09, 2020. ISSN 1988-348X.

The right to protection of health data is considered a fundamental right in Spain, which therefore enjoys special protection through national as well as European rules. The aim of this work is to analyse the degree of compliance with legal regulations on data protection by Spanish public hospitals over the last 25 years. The bibliographical analysis carried out shows a gradual increase in the observance of the regulations by professionals and institutions. However, the different evaluations carried out show that there are still aspects to be complied with in Spanish and European regulations which are increasingly demanding with this fundamental right.
