Claim:
1. A method for providing controlled levels of collaborative exchange of data using a hardware computer network of registered participating Subscribers and Publishers, comprising: defining a set of different privacy levels, each privacy level having associated data sharing parameters that electronically control a participating Subscriber's ability to receive content specific data from each participating Publisher; providing an electronic privacy level register that identifies for each participating Subscriber what the approved privacy levels are as selected from the set of different privacy levels with respect to each participating Publisher to thereby provide an entitlement based controlled electronic data sharing protocol between Subscribers and Publishers; and providing an electronic topic catalog of health care topics, each topic having an assigned privacy level corresponding to one of the set of different privacy levels so that Subscribers can only request data for those topics at their respective privacy entitlement level and Publishers can only publish data for those topics at their privacy entitlement level.
