Who is responsible for ethical management of health data?

The responsibility of the ethical management of health data typically falls on multiple parties. Healthcare providers and organizations are responsible for obtaining informed consent, protecting patient privacy and confidentiality, and ensuring that data is used for legitimate purposes. Government agencies may also set regulations and guidelines for data handling and may enforce penalties for noncompliance. Patients themselves have a role in ensuring that their data is being used in an ethical and appropriate way by actively monitoring how their data is being used and expressing concerns or complaints if necessary. Ultimately, it is up to all parties involved to prioritize ethical practices in managing health data to preserve patient trust and promote good health outcomes.
