Small example. As GP I had scanned early 1990’s to CD’s all ‘Green cards’, meaning patient records. I can not remove these files on write-only media. But logically they were removed because they were all archived and stored in a vault. My EHR-system had no access to these scans. All this might give frowns by the legal profession.
Logical deletion is possible at best. Logical deletion means that that data no longer is actively used in health care provision processes. Absolute and full Physical deletion many times is impossible, or not practical.
