It is of utmost importance to protect the identities of patients as well as individual CESQIP programs and member organizations. Every effort has been made to exclude identifying information on individual patients, programs and members from the computer files. Certain demographic information — such as sex, race, etc. — has been included for research purposes. All research results must be presented or published in a manner that ensures that no individual can be identified. In addition, there must be no attempt either to identify individuals from any computer file or to link with a computer file containing patient identifiers. In order for the CESQIP Aggregate Data Program (CADP) to provide access to the CESQIP aggregate data, it is necessary that the Principle Investigator of each proposal agree to the following provisions.
Additional Terms: The Data Recipient agrees to indemnify the AAES, the CESQIP Committee, and the Endocrine Surgery Quality Foundation and its employees and agents from liability, claims, or expenses arising from use of the CADP data or negligence in Data use by the Data Recipient; this Agreement will remain in effect as of the date of execution and terminate when all copies of the CADP data file are destroyed and no longer in use; any noncompliance by the Data Recipient with the terms of this Agreement or failure on the part of the Data Recipient to correct any breach or violation of this Agreement to the satisfaction of CESQIP will be grounds for immediate termination of the Agreement by CESQIP and possible expulsion of the data recipient and participating program from the CESQIP.
As the undersigned, my signature confirms my employment at the participating CESQIP facility and my intention to comply with the above stated requirements.
