Primary Health Care Research GIS Resource
• Spatially enabling data• Providing spatial linking mechanisms• Improving availability of tools & processes• GIS skills resource• Web based mapping
Michael Hewett, GRAPHC (http://graphc.aphcri.anu.edu.au) 2
Primary Health Care Research & Privacy• Especially important in Health Care Research context• Legal and Ethical Protections
– Researchers– Doctors/Data Originators
• Trust• Researchers need to Share Data
– Research Validation– New research
• Involves more than just the research data

Privacy: Location ID?• Location ID
– Cross Linking– Must link to location for processing
• GeoHash– Decodable To Location
• Encryption– Decryptable– Must be decrypted before Analysis– Cross linking even without decoding
Michael Hewett, GRAPHC (http://graphc.aphcri.anu.edu.au) 8
Other Options• Ethical/Legal clearance to use
addresses and coordinates• Pre-aggregation• Third party secure data environments
