Скачать или смотреть Regulatory Change and the Canadian Health Data Commons

About this Session:
Health-sector organizations use tiered data governance models to steward data, ensuring its responsible secondary use. Collaboration between institutional bioethics professionals and researchers enables appropriate access controls to be applied to data. Such bespoke safeguards are proportionate to the sensitivity of data and the risks that its use creates. In this Health Data for All of Us session, Alexander Bernier explores the Canadian regulatory mechanisms that operationalize tiered data governance today. He provides critical commentary on the contemporary shift away from reliance on bioethics institutions to establish a practicable balance of rights and responsibilities in data toward the heightened use of data protection institutions to regulate biomedical data use. New regulatory developments are assessed both in general and relative to health-sector artificial intelligence development.
