Contreras et al. 2018 UK Letter to editor Academic, Academia
  • Who owns the data by law?

  • Will the HDC replace or supplement existing ideas?

  • Third-party, patient-controlled compilations of health data, such as mobile health records already exist – how will they be incorporated into HDC?

Grumbach et al. 2014 USA Research Article Academic, Academia
  • Acquiring an electronic health for a healthcare cooperative will need to create functional patient registries

  • A primary care cooperative extension service would provide technical assistance in the implementation of chronic care models, advanced access scheduling, group medical visits, and similar innovations.

Hafen et al. 2014 Switzerland Research Article Academic, Academia/policy
  • Precision medicine and personalized health are related.

  • already 40000 health related apps that collect patient data and can contribute towards precision medicine.

  • Personal data is a new asset, patients have limited access due to i) decentralized storage, ii) data protection laws

Mahlmann et al. 2018 Switzerland Research Article Academic, Academia /policy/Public health workers
  • New data sources are emerging, such as: lifestyle data, quantified self movement, demographic data etc.

  • The private sector is rapidly adopting data strategies

  • No integration of big data into public health policies

  • Data are not interlinked - inability to realize the potentials of data from apps etc.

Mikk et al. 2017 USA Commentary Academic, Academia
  • Commentary is in response to a comment that individuals who have control over their longitudinal data are less likely to share it.

  • Authors prove that individuals are more likely to share their health data for research as compared to their physicians.

Tracy et al. 2004 Canada Research Article Academic, Academia
  • Most participants possessed extremely limited knowledge of how their public health information is collected, used, and disclosed;

  • They don’t have control over collection, use and disclosure of PHR; scared of privacy; new tool can increase security; have mistrust about the protection about their privacy; HCID would prevent breaches of privacy;

  • Access to medical records is generally considered appropriate after consent has been obtained but there is lack of clarity as to whether express consent is required for each and every use;

  • Individuals want privacy of own data (solved by governance) but public benefit from data (tools needed)

Van Roessel et al. 2018 Switzerland Research Article Academic, Academia/policy
  • HDC is citizen owned, equal property of members; not for profit; revenues will be reinvested;

  • Because of technological advances, the amount of available personal data will expand considerably;

  • The willingness to share personal health information increases when individuals have control over their own data and the information is anonymous

Vayena et al. 2017 Switzerland Review Academic, Academia/Policy /Public health workers
  • Traditional means of control:

  • Data control is conducive to transparency, accountability, and trust which includes informed consent; professional confidentiality; anonymization

  • Emerging models of Control include control over data access, control over data uses, and governance

Montgomery J. 2017 USA Review Academic, Academia/Policy /Public health workers
  • Health information as the private property of patients

  • It is hard to justify on the traditional ‘labour theory’ of ownership.

  • That approach would instead suggest that health information derived from patients should be owned by health professionals (or more plausibly the health systems for whom they work).

  • However, giving either patients or individual professionals the right to extract ransom payments from those seeking to use genomic science to provide personalised medicine enables them to appropriate to themselves material that is biologically common to others.

Blasimme et al. 2018 Netherland Commentary Academic, Academia/Policy /Public Health workers
  • Informed consent;

  • Privacy issues; governance, and readiness

Dorey et al. 2018 Netherland Research Article Academic, Academia, Policy, Public Health workers
  • Qualitative study gain an in-depth understanding of the awareness of possible ethical risks and corresponding obligations among those who are involved in projects using patient data, i.e. healthcare professionals, regulators and policy makers.

  • Interviewees pointed out the risks of collecting the wrong data, or in the wrong way and generating waste;

  • Respondent attitude: a) all interviewees recognized patient rights to know, to protect privacy and to own their data. However, their attitude regarding patient information indicated some discrepancies with this position; b) they recognized that, depending on their purpose, all health stakeholders could benefit from CRGs; d) it was suggested that physicians needed to be better trained in information technologies and public health sciences; e) Most interviewees supported public governance to serve public interest

King et al. 2016 USA Research Article Non-academic, policy
  • Community health record should focus: 1) enable meaningful collaboration, 2) facilitate a shared approach, 3) build workforce and infrastructure capacity, and 4) establish a new way of doing business that enables the transformation of community health data into information and information into knowledge to aid decision makers in collectively improving population health.

Torres et al. 2014 USA Research Article Academic, Policy

Denise et al. 2012 USA Policy report Academic, Policy
  • This report discusses a common community data set

  • Today, discharge data provides the full community of users with information that is relatively current, has provider identifiers, and is cost efficient.

  • The information is used in public displays, such as websites, dynamic web query systems, and in traditional reports. It provides a broad array of information not found in individual registries and is more cost efficient to collect than other sources.

  • It can also be de-identified to allow broader use, than is possible with other clinical data sources. Because they are widely available and broadly used, hospital discharge data could serve as the backbone for a hybrid EMR/discharge “package” of information. Statewide discharge data combined with clinical data in an EMR can supply both the numerator and denominator for examining outcomes of care and cost effectiveness of treatments.

  • In addition, the common structure and relative uniformity of hospital discharge data across providers and states, allows for regional and national comparisons.

Nadeau, E.G. 2010 USA Report Academic, Academia

Future Care Capital 2017 UK Company Report Non-academic, Policy
  • A growing number of organisations are making progress in integrating health and care record data at the local level, but the complexities surrounding

  • Information Governance (IG) modelling are impacting associated timescales as well as the potential for such data to be put to beneficial secondary uses.

  • The process took those this report interviewed up to twelve months to finalise, and none plans to integrate substantial information from social care home providers at present, which would almost certainly take more time.

  • Only one of the interviewees used the data collected for purposes other than direct care and provided third party access for research based upon informed consent.

Ken, T. 2015 USA News article Academic, Academia
