Das Risiko von Re-Identifizierung bei der Auswertung medizinischer Routinedaten – Kritische Bewertung und Lösungsansätze

The use of primary care data gathered from electronic health records in local practices could be an important building block for the future of health services research.

We show the data protection and privacy problems that may arise through secondary analysis of routine primary care data and describe the technical solutions that are available to address these concerns - as a trust-building measure.
