The secondary use of data refers to any usage of personal and health information, other than the use for which the information was initially collected. For instance, this use may pertain to information that was collected over the course of a medical treatment and will now be used for research purposes, or information that was collected for an initial study, and is now being used in a second study not falling within the scope of the original consent.
