    Abstract

    The policies that address health information exchanges for research purposes in Australia, Austria, Finland, Switzerland, and the USA apply accountability and/or adequacy to protect privacy. Specific requirements complicate the exchanges: inform data subjects of data use purposes; assure that the subjects are no longer identifiable; destroy the data in the end; and not to use cloud computing without specific permission.
