Kristen Rosati Advocates for a Federal Standard for Health Data De-Identification

Naomi Jorgensen

De-identified data is essential to research and innovation in health care. To ensure continued access to de-identified data, Kristen Rosati advocates for two goals in her guest commentary in Datavant’s newsletter Privacy Matters.
