Data Sharing Decisions pertain to the ethical and regulatory choices and protocols governing the transfer, access, and use of aggregated or anonymized patient health information beyond the direct care team for purposes such as large-scale research, public health surveillance, or quality improvement initiatives. These decisions require a careful balance between advancing scientific understanding and rigorously upholding patient privacy rights and ethical standards.
