Legal Aspects of Ownership of Medical Records Documents as Objects of Material Property Rights for Hospitals

Article 297 paragraph (1) of Law Number 17 of 2023 concerning Health explains that medical record documents belong to health service facilities. This has legal consequences for hospitals to maintain the security, integrity, and confidentiality of medical records. However, patients still assume they are the owners of the contents of the records, so violations often occur in disclosing medical records which are not by the provisions.

With this background, the research aims to determine the legal aspects of ownership of medical record documents as objects of property rights for hospitals, so that disclosure of information contained in medical record documents is carried out by applicable legal provisions.

Developing Transformational Strategies to Improve the Accessibility of E-Governmental Services in South African Local Government

The access to electronic governmental services is an important element of effective governance, particularly in developing nations such as South Africa, where there are still differences in access and skills to digital technologies. As digital transformation becomes increasingly important for effective governance, it is urgently necessary to develop strategies to ensure that all citizens can access electronic governmental services. This study focused on the development of transformation strategies to enhance access to electronic governmental services in local governments in South Africa. This qualitative research used existing literature and case studies to develop transformation strategies to improve access to digital government services. The paper evaluated how the accessibility of electronic government services affected the responsiveness and effectiveness of the provision of local government services. Moreover, the paper also examined the impact of socio-economic factors on the accessibility of electronic services provided by municipalities in South Africa. This included the assessment of the citizens' perceptions of the use and accessibility of the current electronic government services of the municipalities of South Africa. Finally, although electronic public administration services have great potential to enhance local governance in South Africa, their accessibility depends on a solution to socio-economic imbalances, infrastructure limitations, technological obstacles, and trust issues. The study provided strategies for promoting the access of local government e-government services in South Africa. As a result, the findings of the paper contributed to growing knowledge on e-government tactics to improve service delivery and promote good governance practices in South Africa.

The Legal Position of Corporate Crime in Indonesia

In the context of Indonesian criminal law, legal subjects extend beyond humans or individuals to include legal entities or corporations. Corporations, as legal entities that can be held accountable for their actions, are subject to a range of legal frameworks, including those outlined in various laws such as Law No. 7 Drt. Year 1955 concerning Investigation, Prosecution and Trial of Economic Crimes, Law No. 31 Year 1999 as amended by Law No. 20 Year 2001 concerning Amendments to Law No. 31 Year 1999 concerning Eradication of Crimes, Law No. 9 Year 2013 concerning Prevention and Eradication of Criminal Acts of Terrorism Financing, Law No. 31 Year 1999 concerning Corruption Eradication, Law No. 41 Year 1999 concerning Forestry and others. Criminalizing corporations differs from criminalizing individuals due to the inherently distinct nature of corporations, which is not subject to the same legal principles as individuals within the criminal law. While certain forms of punishment can be imposed upon people, they are not applicable to corporations; for example, imprisonment and death penalty. Therefore, it is necessary to impose an appropriate form of punishment on corporations in order to achieve the objectives of criminalization. Accordingly, a variety of sanctions exist that are regulated by several different laws, including probation sanctions, equity fines, diversion to alternative sanctions, supplemental sanctions, community service sanctions, the authority of external legal entities, and the requirement to purchase shares.
