Managing cooperation for information security and privacy in health care: A german case study

Abstract

With the increasing data volume and digitalization in the society, the meaning of data privacy is an important issue. But what does it mean, when service providers try to protect data flows? It is important to create high-quality data, to securely store the data, to communicate the meaning of data, and finally, to use data for the strategic goals of an organization. On the one hand, data privacy is seen as a protection of misuse in the data processing which describes the structural and organized converting of databases, mostly used as a foundation for statistics in the scientific and economic area. Another important aspect, which has to be guaranteed through data privacy, is to guarantee individuals’ privacy.
