Declarations
:
: The Dutch Institute for Clinical Auditing (DICA) is one of the leading organizations that facilitates clinical auditing in the Netherlands [, ]. DICA offers participants in its clinical audits the possibility of submitting an application to receive data from clinical audits for the purpose of scientific research under strict conditions. These applications are assessed at several levels. In the participation agreement between DICA and the participants in clinical audits, to which the DICA Regulations also apply, further conditions are set for the use of data for scientific research. These conditions include that only pseudonymised or anonymised data that cannot (directly) be traced back to individual patients may be made available. The parties also agree that, in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations, the participants will set up a system of no-objection that offers the patient the possibility to explicitly object to the use of his/her data for scientific research in advance. In this way, the patient's privacy will be protected as much as possible.
