Links to other websites

On our website, we also set links to other websites; this is done for information purposes only. These websites are not under our control and are therefore not covered by the provisions of this privacy policy. However, should you activate a link, it is possible that the operator of this website will collect data about you and process it in accordance with its privacy policy, which may differ from ours. Please always also inform yourself about the current data protection regulations on the websites linked by us.

Google Maps

On our website we also use the offers of Google Maps. This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on our website and enables you to conveniently use the map function to find our location and facilitate your journey. By visiting our website, Google receives this information. This occurs regardless of whether you are logged in via a Google account or not. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish this, you must log out of Google before using this service. For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection, please refer to Google's privacy policy, which can be found at http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

privacy policy for the use of medflex

To improve our service and efficiently manage patient inquiries and appointments, we rely on the intelligent inquiry management system from medflex. This system makes it easier for us to communicate with our patients thanks to an automated, easily accessible platform. Our patients can use medflex to make inquiries online or by telephone, arrange appointments and send their requests directly to our practice to save time.

In this context, medflex GmbH (medflex GmbH, Reichenaustraße 39a, 78467 Konstanz) acts as our data processor.

medflex processes all data in strict compliance with the current data protection regulations and in doing so it uses Highest security standards .

All data processed by medflex is stored exclusively in Germany and is subject to the strict requirements of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Storage within the EU guarantees the highest data protection and security standards. medflex GmbH uses technical and organizational measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your data at all times.

For the effective management of your inquiries and appointments, the following information that you provide is recorded in the medflex system: First and last name, date of birth, telephone number, e-mail address and your request in written form via the online request management or the recording of your voice message by the telephone assistant.

Your data is collected for the purpose of request and appointment management, as was previously the case in our practice. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (fulfillment of the treatment contract), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent for appointment reminders via SMS and e-mail) and Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h GDPR (health care purposes).

Your data will NOT be passed on by medflex to commercial providers. medflex, like your attending physician, is subject to medical confidentiality. A separate release from the duty of confidentiality is not required.

With your consent, we would like to use the medflex system to remind you of your appointments by SMS and/or e-mail in order to reduce missed appointments. If you no longer wish to receive reminders in future, please let us know and we will deactivate this function immediately.

Special features for communication

Patients do not need to create a user account to communicate with their practice via medflex. However, patients can create a user account on request.

For this, please refer to the separate privacy policy for the use of medflex.

medflex is responsible for data processing when creating a medflex user account. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b and Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h GDPR (purposes of preventive healthcare).

Patient inquiry management on the website

On our website, we have integrated the option of making inquiries to our practice via medflex. By clicking on the medflex button, you will be redirected to the medflex website where you can make an online inquiry. Although we do not transmit any personal data to medflex ourselves, medflex may be able to draw conclusions from the fact that you have come from our website. No data is transferred to medflex before you click on the button. By forwarding you leave the area of our website.

Smart telephone assistant

We have set up a digital telephone assistant to expand our telephone capacity and to support our employees in dealing with your concerns. This assistant will take your calls if our practice team is not available or the line is busy.

How the telephone assistant works:
• The assistant leads a simple interactive dialog for the structured recording of your personal data and your request.
• The content of the conversation is recorded, written down and clearly presented for our team.
• This enables efficient processing of your requests, e.g. by SMS or callback, based on the information you provide.

IMPORTANT: In life-threatening emergencies, please contact the emergency services directly on 144!

NEWS & INFOS

E-PRESCRIPTION

From July 1st 2023, medicines covered by public insurance in Austria can be sent via e-prescription (independent of ELGA).

All persons insured in Austria can pick up their medication with a health insurance e-prescription at any Austrian pharmacy - but not at web/online pharmacies! Private prescriptions cannot be sent - they have to be collected at the practice.

As of July 1st 2023, the e-card must be inserted at the practice once per quarter so that the e-prescription is activated for 90 days .

Lab tests - procedure

After we received and checked the results we proceed as follows:

1. In case of an urgent result that is subject to treatment we contact you actively and communicate the necessary steps (therapy, appointment, prescription, ...).

2. If you have not heard of us within 2 weeks, you can be assured that your results do not require any further medical clarification or treatment. In this case, even if the result deviates from the reference range, we offer you to ask within your next regular appointment.

Currently we are not able to answer your e-mails regarding that matter due to high influx of e-mails. We kindly ask you for your understanding. THANK YOU.
