A system to build distributed multivariate models and manage disparate data sharing policies: implementation in the scalable national network for effectiveness research.
The authors’ objective was to implement infrastructure that supports the functionality of some existing research networks (e.g., cohort discovery, workflow management, and estimation of multivariate analytic models on centralized data) while adding additional important new features. They were able to implement massively parallel (map-reduce) computation methods and a new policy management system to enable each study initiated by network participants to define the ways in which data may be processed, managed, queried, and shared.

Comparison of consumers' views on electronic data sharing for healthcare and research.
The researchers surveyed California consumers to learn their views of privacy, security, and consent in electronic data sharing for healthcare and research together. They found considerable concern that health information exchanges will worsen privacy (40.3 percent) and security (42.5 percent). Consumers are in favor of electronic data sharing but elements of transparency are important: individual control, who has access, and the purpose for use of data.
