This group started as a discussion about how difficult it is to support researchers working with HIPAA data and the particular challenges that come with it. Through these discussions, the group realized there was a substantial story to tell about how HIPAA impacts research negatively and what could be done to mitigate it. We’re now working to turn the content into some kind of publication like a white paper, share it with the community to get input and endorsement, then present it to policy makers.
Current Activities
