Social and health care registry data is a valuable resource for developing services, studying the well-being of the population, and finding new solutions for disease prevention and treatment. At the same time, it is essential to ensure that citizens’s health data remains protected and that no one’s privacy is compromised.
This course will help you understand what data is collected about us in social and health care, what the secondary use of social and health data means, why it is done, and how data is protected at every stage of the process.
