Who owns the data that is in the CKD Data Registry?
On a daily basis the CKD data elements for each participating practice are replicated in the CKD Data Registry data warehouse. Thus, the practice owns all of its data. The information in the CKD Data Registry is de-identified and contains only those elements within the CKD Data Registry Element Catalog. This data is available to all users of the CKD Data Registry solely for non-commercial clinical use and the de-identified abstraction of the data is owned by the CKD Data Registry sponsor, Fresenius Medical Care North America.
