Introduction: In the age of big data and artificial intelligence, data has become even more important asset to health care sector than before. To be able to utilize these technologies and get better research and innovation results, organizations need to widen their own datasets by sharing data with other parties. The purpose of this thesis was to find out, could private companies share their data to public organizations for health care research purposes and if yes, what would be the motivation and obstacles for that.
Method: Sources that were used in this scoping review were taken searched in PubMed, CINAHL Complete (Ebsco) and ProQuest Central databases. These databases were selected to find relevant sources on health care sector. Key words for searches were selected by using PIO model and with a pilot search. From actual first search, articles were selected based on titles. Next phase consisted of abstract review and the remaining sources were analysed on full-text level.
Results: Nine articles were selected to final analysis. Sources were analysed to find out what kind of motivation factors or obstacles private companies have faced when discussing about sharing their own data with public sector for health care research purposes. Eight articles discussed on data sharing either from public organizations or individuals’ point of view. As a summary it can be said that individuals feel comfortable to share their data with public sector, but the same didn’t apply to private sector. A few studies also showed that public sector has been sharing their data to private companies and that has caused discussion on the justification of the data sharing.
Conclusion: Research questions could not be answered directly based on the sources found in this systematic review. At the moment, researchers focus seems to be on individuals and public organizations motives for data sharing.
