Abstract: Digital transformation is a key driver in modern healthcare systems. In Vietnam, transitioning from paper-based to electronic health records (EHR) offers improved efficiency and quality in healthcare services. However, safeguarding personal data within EHRs is paramount due to the sensitivity of the information involved. This paper explores the existing legal framework on personal data protection for EHRs in Vietnam, identifies critical gaps, and provides actionable recommendations for enhancing legal mechanisms. The study underscores the necessity of a comprehensive law on personal data protection and the development of uniform standards and enforcement mechanisms.
