Risk prevention principle of public health data sharing and its application / 中华医院管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Data sharing is the fundamental work for building a " Healthy China" and a technical support for improving China′s healthcare service system. It is of great significance to the government, society, and individuals. In the digital era, public health data could be referred to various data collected, connected, read, and stored on digital platforms for research, monitoring, prevention, and control of diseases, health events, and the operation of health systems. China′s public health data sharing has initially formed a development pattern of " four modernizations", providing basic conditions and practical preparations for vigorously promoting data sharing. In the process of data sharing, the risk prevention principle should be fully considered and established, including establishing a series of measures to balance legal protection and interest protection for different entities and situations, that is, data information typing to limit data access rights, building a unified public health data sharing platform, and continuously improving public health data sharing mechanisms. At the same time, appropriate data use policies and security measures should be formulated to ensure data privacy and security.
