This session will focus on privacy considerations that often arise when participants in the health data ecosystem seek to leverage health data for research and analytics. Issues to be discussed include: when HIPAA does and does not apply to research and analytics; data valuation and the divergent perspectives of different stakeholders; secondary use of research data; scope of research authorizations and informed consents; GDPR and cross-border transfers; ramifications of non-harmonized de-identification and anonymization definitions under HIPAA, GDPR, and new state laws; and frequently-encountered contract tangles between data holders and vendors over data usage and de-identification rights, indemnification, liability caps, and assignment rights, and how such contract terms may affect mergers and acquisitions.
