Practical costs of data sharing

Approaches and costs for sharing clinical research data.

Data sharing needed to increase quality and decrease costs.

tronic systems must talk with each other or the whole process falls apart. the Wisconsin Pharmacy Quality collaborative is a program of the Pharmacy Society of Wisconsin that received an innovation award from centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to improve medication management for the people of Wisconsin. the special article in this issue of the WMJ describes the project and its goals and ...

Sharing Supermodular Costs

We study cooperative games with supermodular costs. We show that supermodular costs arise in a variety of situations; in particular, we show that the problem of minimizing a linear function over a supermodular polyhedron—a problem that often arises in combinatorial optimization—has supermodular optimal costs. In addition, we examine the computational complexity of the least core and least core ...

Practical Barriers and Ethical Challenges in Genetic Data Sharing

The underlying ethos of dbGaP is that access to these data by secondary data analysts facilitates advancement of science. NIH has required that genome-wide association study data be deposited in the Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP) since 2003. In 2013, a proposed updated policy extended this requirement to next-generation sequencing data. However, recent literature and anecdotal rep...

Investigation of Sharing and Reuse of Research Data among Researchers

Purpose: Sharing research data leads to the reusing that data. The purpose   is to describe the status of sharing and reusing research data amongst researchers. This examines the attitude, experience and barriers in reusing research data. Methodology: Applied quantitative survey method was used. Population  was 154 participants all faculty members of Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University. Instrum...
