Abstract
Health data derived from electronic health records are increasingly utilized in
large-scale population health analyses. Going hand in hand with this increase in
data is an increasing number of data breaches. Ensuring privacy and security of
these data is a shared responsibility between the public health researcher,
collaborators, and their institutions. In this article, we review the
requirements of data privacy and security and discuss epidemiologic implications
of emerging technologies from the computer science community that can be used
for health data. In order to ensure that our needs as researchers are captured
in these technologies, we must engage in the dialogue surrounding the
development of these tools.
