Answer preview
Technically, healthcare organizations collect information about the health conditions affecting the patients, interventions applied to manage these conditions, and how the conditions respond to interventions applied. These are valuable information to the research organizations as they can utilize this information to come up with more effective medications, healthcare devices, or health practices to manage these conditions more effectively, thus improving the patients’ well-being or improving healthcare organizations’ efficiency. The healthcare organization can generate income from the patient data by providing it to the third parties who derive insights from data later utilized to improve products, internal processes, and services, known as indirect monetization (Roberts & Edelmann, 2022). The patient data stored by the healthcare organizations have economic value to the organizations themselves and third parties.
