Problem: What would be necessary legally and ethically to be able to utilize this data set(s)? Our first priority is keep the patient data and information secure and confidential and follow the HIPPA. This also may require any written consent by law to utilize and study any patient data and information. We can first consult with staff in the Virginia Department of Health regarding any necessary legal and ethical standards we need to follow before/while and after we review and study the data.
