The Impact of Trust and the Role of the Opt-Out Mechanism in Willingness to Share Health Data via Electronic Health Records in Germany: Telephone Survey Study

The Impact of Trust and the Role of the Opt-Out Mechanism in Willingness to Share Health Data via Electronic Health Records in Germany: Telephone Survey Study

Citizens should be aware of the potential benefits as well as the potential dangers of sharing personal health data. This becomes even more urgent with the implementation of an opt-out mechanism. Opt-out is an instrument of nudging [8]. It aims to increase the use of EHRs and the acceptance of data sharing by “choice architecture” [9]. Citizens retain their freedom of choice but are nudged toward using the EHR.
