Data licensing for healthcare practices

Patient information is protected. Operational records are a separate question.

Healthcare practices handle protected health information, which is subject to strict privacy laws.

Patient data

Patient records and anything containing protected health information should be excluded unless your compliance and legal advisors confirm a lawful path. Do not assume anonymization alone resolves this.

Operational records

Scheduling processes, administrative SOPs, vendor management and internal training material are separate from patient care records and may be worth reviewing with your advisors.

Get the right advice

This is not legal advice. Healthcare organizations should involve their compliance officer and counsel before any data licensing conversation.
