Data privacy and protection in healthcare

I am developing a medical health record system which emphasizes on data privacy and protection for my semester long project.

Could you name good source to refer about data privacy and security in healthcare?

Personal experiences on developing duch systems, examples are helpful too.

edps.europa.eu/data-protection/our...

Europe - GDPR: gdprexplained.eu/

USA - HIPAA: hipaaguide.net/hipaa-for-dummies/

Singapore - PDPA: pdpc.gov.sg/Legislation-and-Guidel...

Start with either GDPR or HIPAA as it's more useful on a general level.
