Healthcare providers, professionals and researchers are required to be good custodians of health information of patients. Our patients’ privacy must be protected. Paramount to the effective delivery of healthcare is the access to personal health information for those who need to know to provide care. Additionally, when collecting and using your personal health information measures must be in place to insure the privacy and confidentiality of the information is protected.​ The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine-Learning (ML) is showing that AI in Medical Imaging is requiring the “availability of high-quality image data for testing and validation. Open access data sharing is critical to enable adequate sampling of the human population and the wide variety of disease states. It is equally critical to protect patient privacy and to comply with national and international regulations governing protected or sensitive health information and personally identifiable information” (Data Sharing and Patient Privacy in the World of AI, Hot Topic session, RSNA 2021).

The topic of Privacy and Access to healthcare data has been introduced by members of our community frequently as the desired topic for our webinars. To suitably address this complex subject and the wide spectrum of perspectives, we are planning a series of three (3) one-hour webinars.

The third in this webinar series, Privacy and Patient Health Data – Public Health and Big Data Perspectives

• “Medical Data as a Public Good” – Dr. Matthew Lungren (MD, MPH), Co-Director Stanford Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine & Imaging
