Data Portability Rights

Meaning

Data portability rights grant patients the legal entitlement to obtain a copy of their hormonal health data in a readily usable, structured, and commonly used electronic format and to transmit that data to another healthcare provider or personal health system without impediment. This right empowers individuals to control their longitudinal health narrative, enabling seamless continuity of care and facilitating second opinions in specialized fields like endocrinology. It is a cornerstone of modern patient-centric healthcare and data governance, ensuring the patient’s access to their own physiological history. Clinicians must be prepared to furnish comprehensive hormonal profiles upon request.
