A myriad of legal, regulatory and ethical considerations must be addressed in order for healthcare stakeholders to properly leverage Big Data in healthcare, and adopt best practices in data mining. Big Data involves powerful and often surprisingly granular information that can be assembled about individuals based on analysis of enormous databases, and typically refers to the application of emerging techniques in data analytics, such as machine learning and other artificial intelligence tools, to those enormous databases of personal information. Sources of Big Data often include smartphone GPS data; web browsing data; social networking activity and biometric data. Projects using Big Data can transform healthcare delivery, because providers are better able to assess acute cases in an entire population. As well, they can develop new ways to identify and prevent illness. But peril looms. Retail Big Data analysis, doesn t usually have to be conducted within the parameters of rigorous industry-specific privacy laws and regulations. Not so with healthcare, which must operate under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, among other statutes. And in fact, key principles of privacy regulations are ill-suited to Big Data. Big Data has caught the attention of the federal government; indeed, the Federal Trade Commission s jurisdiction to regulate unfair and deceptive acts or practices under Section 5 of the FTC Act may hold the key to future Big Data regulation, as it permits distinguishing between beneficial uses of Big Data (identifying potential health risks) from negative uses (discrimination based on health status). Large Business Associate entities are destined to play a key role in the development of Big Data analytics in healthcare, but they must operate within the parameters of the oftenambiguous HIPAA rules governing uses of Personal Health Information for management and administration, data aggregation services and de-identification. Health plans and other healthcare companies are increasingly basing new products and business models on the use of Big Data, so it s vital that companies address data collection and use issues in customer services agreements prior to the collection of data, if possible. Companies seeking to leverage Big Data initiatives also need to be sensitive to consumer perceptions about how companies are using their personal information -- the so-called ick factor. Just because it s legal, doesn t mean you won t be criticized for doing it; just because you re using the information to improve the health of a population doesn t mean consumers won t assume you re actually selling it or using it for some other for-profit purpose.
