High-quality Data to deliver tomorrow’s healthcare
Thank you to all participants!
In an era where health data is pivotal to driving improvements in patient care, clinical research and healthcare policy, especially with the advent of AI and data spaces in the ecosystem, ensuring the quality of this data from its initial collection to its various uses is of paramount importance.
The Health Data Summit 2025 – “High-quality data to deliver tomorrow’s healthcare” is dedicated to advancing healthcare and fostering innovation through strategic data quality management: the first step towards improved care and better research through data.
Thought leaders, healthcare professionals, policymakers and technology providers will be given a shared space to discuss and devise strategies for maintaining high-quality data – from collection to the use and re-use.
Participants can expect actionable guidelines and materials applicable at every level: from technical and healthcare provider levels to management, divided into three comprehensive tracks that each address a critical aspect of health data quality: a fundamental building block towards the future of healthcare.
