Other Data-Sharing Entities
There are numerous data-sharing platforms; we have listed several of the more prominent ones below. There is a spirit of cooperation among these platforms, as they generally cross-reference one another and share best practices. What they all share is the belief that secondary use of clinical data generates unique inferences and honors patients by extending the use of their data.
