Question

A healthcare provider shares patient records with a downstream research partner for approved secondary analytics. Several months later, patients file corrections to their contact and diagnosis data with the provider. The research partner continues to process the original, uncorrected copies. As the privacy solutions engineer, which control should you prioritize to address the data quality obligation across the data lifecycle?

Accepted Answer

Establish a downstream propagation mechanism that pushes approved corrections to all parties holding shared copies within defined timeframes

Answer

Require the research partner to independently re-verify all patient data with each individual before every analysis run

Answer

Encrypt the shared research dataset at rest and in transit to protect the integrity of the records

Answer

Shorten the retention period for the research dataset so outdated records are disposed of more quickly
