Benefits and risks of health data reuse for healthcare providers: stakeholder perspectives from a qualitative interview study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Reusing health data, for example for research into the quality of care or healthcare planning, has far-reaching potential. Current ethical discussions on developing health data platforms (e.g. the German Medical Informatics Initiative, MII) have primarily addressed patient-related benefits and risks of reusing this data. Less is known about the perspectives of healthcare providers, such as hospitals, that make health data available through these platforms. However, the risks they perceive and a resulting reluctance to share data, along with the lack of strategies for managing these risks, could significantly impede research with health data. In this exploratory qualitative study, we investigated the interests and risks relevant to healthcare providers in the secondary us
