Ownership, privacy, and value of health-care data: Perspectives and future direction

Abstract

In this ever expanding explosion of data in the world, we are at a crucial juncture to balance quality and quantity. In healthcare, there is a need to analyze voluminous datasets for the benefit of the patients while respecting their privacy and ownership. There is a need to understand the fundamental framework of co-creation of the data between the health-care provider and the patient. There is no more opportune time such as this to harness the potential of large datasets in healthcare to catalyze value-based care for the population.
