If you are planning a study that does not require prior approval from the Regional Committees for Medical and Health Research Ethics (REK, ref. Health Research Projects), please refer to the OUS web site regarding personal data protection (in Norwegian). Here you will find, among other things, useful information about the interface between research and quality assurance as well as reporting procedures to the Data Protection Officer and Chief Information Security Officer.

If you have questions about IT solutions or need advice in connection with the collection and storage of data as part of a quality study, see Registry Support and IT solutions.
