Gesundheitsakte: 5.000 Elga-Abmeldungen wegen Forschungsdaten-Debatte (5,000 Elga unsubscriptions for research data debate)

From Google's English:

"Vienna - The debate over the release of Elga data for research has led to thousands of cancellations. Elga manager Martin Hurch told APA that 5,000 patients left the electronic health record in April. It would have been possible to save the vortex from his point of view. For the opening of Elga for research is currently technically impossible.

From 2019, the Research Organization Act provides for easier access for scientists to federal databases. The demand of Minister of Health Beate Hartinger (FPÖ) to delete Elga from the law has not been fulfilled by the ÖVP and FPÖ. Prerequisite for the release would be the consent of the minister - and Hartinger has already excluded for Elga."
