Overview
Many healthcare providers, health plans, technology companies, and other organizations across the healthcare ecosystem are undertaking big health data initiatives involving the collection, analysis, and sharing of large volumes of health data.
The goal of these initiatives is a better understanding of clinical care outcomes and ways to reduce healthcare costs, as well as the exploration of new medical discoveries, but they also come with critical privacy and security caveats that must be carefully addressed.
While contractual agreements usually spell out restrictions on how certain aggregated data sets can be collected and used, federal regulations, such as HIPAA, as well as various state laws, also set different requirements on how that data must be kept private and secure.
During this webinar program, two leading data privacy and security experts with discuss the privacy and security issues involving big health data warehousing and data sharing and share insights on steps organizations involved in these initiatives must take to ensure proper data protection. Specific topics to be discussed include:
- Considerations involving de-identified and anonymized data versus identifiable health information;
- Potential breach concerns involving big health data projects and data-sharing agreements
