Data sharing, particularly cross-sector data sharing, is easier said than done. Inflexible and out-of-touch data laws and a lack of a replicable data sharing framework can result in a data sharing proposal’s untimely demise.

This Network for Public Health Law webinar will provide an exploration of a new structured approach to successful data sharing initiatives, as outlined in a recently released resource from the Network for Public Health Law and Data Across Sectors for Health (DASH): Pathways to Yes: A legal framework for achieving data sharing for health, well-being, and equity.

It is designed for entities that want to share data but don’t know how or where to begin the process; as well as those that have run into obstacles in their data-sharing planning; including the “culture of ‘no’,” a factor that inhibits or prohibits data sharing based on an incomplete understanding of when and how laws (particularly health data privacy laws) permit data sharing.
