Summary
The Honest Broker Protocol simplifies accessing de-identified clinical data for non-FDA research. This streamlines the process, saving investigators significant time and effort compared to traditional IRB approval methods.
Area of Science:
- Health Services Research
- Clinical Data Management
Background:
- Accessing de-identified clinical data is crucial for non-FDA research.
- Traditional Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval processes can be time-consuming and resource-intensive for researchers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce and evaluate the Honest Broker Protocol as a streamlined mechanism for data access.
- To reduce the burden on investigators seeking de-identified clinical data for research.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of the Honest Broker Protocol at Ohio State University Medical Center.
- Utilizing de-identified clinical data for non-FDA regulated research.
Main Results:
- The protocol offers a simplified pathway for investigators.
- Reduces the need for extensive protocol development for IRB review.
Conclusions:
- The Honest Broker Protocol effectively facilitates access to de-identified clinical data.
- This mechanism saves valuable investigator time and resources for non-FDA research.

Ethical Standards I
The American Nurses Association (ANA) created and implemented the first nationally accepted Code of Ethics for Nurses with Interpretive Statements. The Code of Ethics is a living document regularly updated by the ANA and establishes an ethical standard that is non-negotiable for nurses in all roles and settings.
The Code of Ethics provisions outline the nurse's duty to the patient, the healthcare team, the profession, and society. The Code's fundamental principles include advocacy,...

Legal Guidelines for Documentation
The legal guidelines for nursing documentation are essential for ensuring accurate, professional, and ethical recording of patient care. The guidelines are discussed here:
Ethics in Research
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.
Standards of Care II
Nurses bear specific legal responsibilities under several federal statutes, including:
Ethics and Bioethics
Ethics is a philosophical study of moral actions. Ethics attempts to determine what is valuable for individuals and society. It examines the rational justification of moral judgments and analyzes what is morally just, fair, and right. Bioethics is a sub-discipline of applied ethics that analyzes the philosophical, social, and legal issues in life sciences and medicine. Ethical theories serve as a foundation for decision-making and represent the viewpoints from which people seek direction. They...
