Clinical information written in patients’ medical notes contains a wealth of information which could be unlocked for research to improve health and well-being. Researchers are often refused access to this written text because of concerns about privacy breaches. Healtex, the research network for healthcare text analytics, are seeking to draw up a national framework for data governance and safeguards for the acceptable use of medical free-text data from patient records within research for public benefit.
