Providing and promoting better health through judicious health data use
Health systems across Europe are facing huge challenges and need to adapt rapidly in order to remain sustainable whilst improving quality, by developing future proof care and research strategies, optimising the efficient use of resources.
The analysis of great quantities of health data can produce evidence for policy, strategy and resource planning.
Data-driven insights are crucial to support the current and future health and research challenges and enhance public health.
The returns of health care funding can be optimised through the scaled-up, judicious use of health data.
Governing bodies should be able to rely on high-quality health data to drive more effective care provided by the health care providers under their supervision.

Encourage health care users to improve and demonstrate their data quality
For better insights and decision making
Several studies have demonstrated that health data is not always of a good enough quality or fit for the intended re-use purposes.
Health data is traditionally captured by healthcare providers and provider organisations, but increasingly also by medical devices, sensors and health apps directly by patients.
Encouraging these organisations and suppliers to meet data quality assurance criteria will ensure you have reliable evidence to develop better and more efficient health care services and prevention programmes.
We provide instruments, insights and strategies to know, enhance and benchmark data quality
