The exchange of data has many implications, some beneficial, but some risky. Consider the exchange of sensitive information, a dilemma that has a seemingly simple solution: That information should be protected. Yet, in a public health context, how does privacy complicate the possibility of improving outcomes across a population? For example, how can data drawn from genomic sequencing be protected and contribute to the body of knowledge?
In this Discussion, you explore a similar question.
or this Discussion, consider the following scenario:
You are a nurse geneticist who is working for a teaching and research hospital. Your position is to promote the provider use of genetic testing for a specific drug trial. While most physicians are eager to participate in the research, a provider who primarily treats patients with HIV is reluctant to use the trial on their patients and feels utilizing the database system is a violation of HIPAA.
