The Council on Data and Research is a multi-stakeholder group working to gain consensus on and widely disseminate a common set of principles and policies for use of clinical data for uses other than care delivery. The group will clearly characterize, explain and raise awareness of the current laws, rules and regulations governing the use of clinical data for uses other than with care delivery. The goal is to widely disseminate the benefits and risks of using clinical data for population health purposes, using language that "data sources" such as consumers, clinicians, hospitals and other providers, and laboratories as well as "data users" such as employers, health plans, researchers, and public health agencies, understand.
