Massachusetts Clinical Data Exchange Legal Agreements

Across the country, many towns, states, and regions are thinking about clinical data sharing. There is substantial variation in the business models, the data shared, and the stakeholders involved.

However, every clinical data sharing entity needs an operating agreement to create the organization and a customer agreement to add trading partners.

In the interest of transparency, I am posting the

Operating Agreement for MA-Share, our regional clinical data exchange

and the

Customer Agreement, which is used to sign up payers, providers, pharmacy benefit managers and other stakeholders.

Feel free to use these agreements for your data exchange activities.

Let me know about your successes, challenges, and lessons learned along the way as you implement clinical data exchange.
