Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A data use agreement limits how data may be used and how it will be protected and must be in place for a provider to disclose data to a researcher.Agreement about the study's purpose is not necessary for sharing information.A limited data set describes the type of data that may be disclosed without an individual subject's authorization or an IRB waiver; to disclose this limited data set,a data use agreement must be in place.The written study proposal does not confer the right to disclose patient data to a researcher.
