4.   Health data users shall make public the results or output of secondary use, including information relevant for the provision of healthcare, within 18 months of the completion of the processing of the electronic health data in the secure processing environment or of having received the response to the health data request referred to in Article 69.

In justified cases related to the permitted purposes of the processing of electronic health data, the period referred to in the first subparagraph may be extended by the health data access body, in particular in cases where the result is published in a scientific journal or other scientific publication.

The results or output of secondary use shall contain only anonymous data.

Health data users shall inform the health data access bodies from which a data permit was obtained about the results or output of secondary use and assist them to make that information public on health data access bodies’ websites. Such publication shall be without prejudice to publication rights in scientific journals or other scientific publications.

When health data users use electronic health data in accordance with this Chapter, they shall acknowledge the sources of the electronic health data and the fact that the electronic health data have been obtained in the framework of the EHDS.
