Abstract

Generating and analysing patient data in clinical settings is an inherently sensitive process, requiring collaborative effort between clinicians and informaticians to generate value from these data, while mitigating risks to the data subject. As a result, efforts in utilizing external patient data pose significant challenges. We propose a data-centric framework based on the FAIR principles and GDPR guidelines to enhance data management at the point of care. By using the process of data visiting, a cross-facility method for federated data analytics, we can automate generation of novel aggregate data which was previously not realizable. In two sequential studies we show that these techniques, supported by a data stewardship programme, increase community-wide involvement in data generation, improve transparency and trust, provide direct value and data ownership, and enable regulatory and ethically compliant, cross-national data visiting under curated accessibility patterns for federated analytics.
