Can I use SystemView data and charts as part of my research papers or projects?

You will need to comply with local privacy and confidentiality rules. For research projects, all identifiable data sharing should be identified as part of the ethics approval process. Whether it can be shared should be in the terms of the agreement.

Our broad (but non-legal) recommendations are:

• Remove any patient identifiers (first and last name, DOB, phone number and patient ID)
• Remove doctor name if you think you are sharing something that could put a particular staff member at risk or feel uneasy
• Remove the facility and hospital/health service identifiable information if you think you are sharing something that could put the organisation at risk
• Put “not for distribution” in the footer if you are worried that the information could be shared further
• If in doubt seek advice from your local governance team first before sharing.
