Legal and regulatory questions are common among groups working to share cross-sector data. This brief, Navigating Legal Parameters for Cross-Sector Data Collaboration, provides examples of how organizations addressed legal and regulatory concerns about sharing data. Approaches include creating easy-to-use tools to determine who has access to which data, creating adaptable yet secure data sharing agreements, and engaging the leadership and legal teams of the organizations involved.

This brief is part of a series of resources, supported by the Aetna Foundation, which highlights considerations for building trusting relationships, understanding legal and regulatory guidelines, or effectively using the data to better serve individuals and attract resources to programs.
