When creating a CRIS system the regulation requires the protection of identifiable health information through its Privacy Rule and Security Rules. Entities covered by HIPAA must implement measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information. It also sets conditions for disclosure of health information for research, ensuring patient consent or data deidentification. The drawback is the restrictions that can make data sharing between institutions for research purposes difficult. The process of de-identifying data can be complex and may reduce the data's usefulness for research. General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, grants individuals rights over their data, such as the ability to access, correct, and delete their information. It allows data processing if specific conditions are met, like explicit consent or necessity for public interest research. The challenges GDPR faces are the strict consent and data processing requirements. It can impede the flow of data needed for large-scale, cross-border research. Researchers must manage complex compliance processes, which can delay or restrict research efforts.
