Toward
a National Framework for the Secondary Use of Health Data
In recent years, high quality health information has become valuable to
many stakeholders in the healthcare ecosystem. The access and
aggregation of healthcare data poses philosophical including ethical,
political, technical, and economic challenges. The Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) while solving some problems
has created costs, concerns, and even the perception of barriers to the
sharing of health data.
AMIA's Blue Ribbon Panel of experts on the Secondary Use of Health
Data met on April 27-28, 2006. Materials gathered to inform participants
are available here along with the final report. A full range of topics
was covered. The topics are not new, but were given fresh consideration
in light of renewed efforts to build the national health infrastructure
for transforming health care into a system that is safe, equitable,
efficient, effective, timely and patient-centered. The viewpoint of the
framework was societal.
