보건의료 빅데이터 활용을 위한 옵트아웃제 도입에 관한 연구

Healthcare big data, which is the basis for developing the health industry and medical field in the 4th industrial revolution era, should provide health-related information in a reliable manner through safe and suitable use to improve all citizens’health. Furthermore, innovative digital technology should be synthesized, and it should be made available when and where it is most needed. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the quantitative and qualitative value of data, improve data accessibility, and strengthen data supplementation. Certainly, it can be argued that data standardization is the pivotal point of utilization. Since the data terminology or structure of each institution is different, there are limits to their use; therefore, it is essential to conduct extended research by converting the data into a Common Data Model (CDM). Moreover, along with the general data generated only by healthcare providers in hospitals and particular outpatient care settings, the use of mobile and wearable data will increase rapidly in the future because of the expansion and rapid growth of digital healthcare. Therefore, while strict access to safe management or processing of unique identification or sensitive information is stipulated, more relaxed regulations should be applied in connection and utilization of health care data through an opt-out system that grants the right to reject health care data explicitly.
