Key Questions to Address:
• Consent & Privacy: Do we need individual patient consent for quality registries?
• How do we navigate varying provincial privacy legislation?
• Data Ownership: Who owns the data? Individual centres or the collective?
• Data Access: Policy on data access for research vs. quality improvement?
• How do we handle requests from industry, government, media?
• Transparency: Should centre-specific outcomes be public? To members only? Anonymous?
• How do we address outliers ethically and supportively?
