Photos, video and audio recordings

To protect the privacy of our patients, visitors and staff, there are rules regarding photos, video and audio recording.

Recording: what is allowed, what is not?

  • Making an audiovisual recording must never interfere with the provision of care.
  • You may take photos, video and audio recordings of yourself in the hospital. No other persons (patients, visitors or staff) may be seen or heard recognisably, unless with their explicit permission.
  • It is not allowed to take a photo or video of staff badges, computer screens or screens with photos of patients or staff.

Recording of others: always ask permission

Do you want to make a recording in which other people can be recognised?

  • Always ask permission from those persons.
  • Tell them what you want to do with the photo, video or audio recording. You may not use them for anything other than what you were given permission for.
  • If someone refuses or cannot give permission, you may not take a photo, video or audio recording of that person.

Be careful with online sharing

What you post on the internet, is there forever. Do not do anything on social media or the web that could harm you or others. Act respectfully if someone asks you to remove a photo or film.

Your photo in the patient record

Your eID photo will be added to your medical record when you register at the hospital for the provision of efficient healthcare.

Your photo on the call screen

  • Your profile picture on the on-call screen increases efficiency in consultation.
  • When you first register, you are given the choice of whether or not to display your photo on the call screens.
  • You can change this permission at any time via mynexuzhealth or with an enrolment officer.

Recordings in the context of patient care

  • Audiovisual recordings that are in the context of quality patient care, are kept in your patient record.
