Yielding the greatest value possible from the use of rapidly expanding digitalized health data resources is essential to address pressing societal issues with cost, quality, safety and access in healthcare delivery systems. In this research, we are extending debates about technical data exchange infrastructure in healthcare, and the privacy regulation of personal health data, to consider how governance develops around health data resources. Health data resources include clinical data from patient encounters, billing and claims data, public health data, and new sources such as genomic databanks and mobile health trackers / monitors. We view these health data as shared societal resources rather than merely the organizational assets of the firms that collect the data. This in turn calls into question whether new forms of health care data governance can develop, what influences their emergence, and what factors enable or limit effective governance of these resources. As a first step, we are addressing these questions through a series of embedded case studies of an emerging organization form of health data governance, the All Payer Claims Databases (APCD) in the U.S. healthcare sector. Through comparative case analysis, we are examining how and why there is significant variation in organizational forms among 20 state projects and what are the implications for the societal, organizational, and individual value of these data resources. I will discuss how the research project evolved through early conference publications to a recently awarded National Science Foundation (NSF) grant. I will also discuss briefly how health information technology (HIT) research has developed in the Information Systems field and some of the various HIT projects I have been involved with.
