Position Summary:

This position sits within the UW School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH) administrative offices, with direct reporting to the Senior Associate Dean for Clinical and Translational Research.

The primary role of the Honest Broker is to work collaboratively with data analysts to collect and provide electronic health information to researchers in such a manner whereby it would not be reasonably possible for the researchers, or other individuals, to identify the subjects directly or indirectly. The honest broker is not part of either the data services, clinical or research teams. The Honest Broker will develop and implement a process to allow internal and external user groups to obtain electronic health information for the purposes of research, in a way that does not allow for identification of the individual to whom the information pertains. The Honest Broker will collaborate frequently with at least 3 established offices: the SMPH Associate Dean for Biomedical Informatics, the UW-Madison HIPAA Privacy Officer, and the UW-Madison HIPAA Security Officer. The Honest Broker will collaboratively develop SMPH's infrastructure for receiving and processing requests by researchers for electronic health information. The Honest Broker will also work with the data services teams to provide support for privacy- and security-related compliance reviews.
