Trustworthy, safe data use
Reusing health data is crucial for advancing research and health care. But health data is highly personal and sensitive information, and its protection is strongly regulated.
73% of EU citizens want to share health data on the precondition that data is secure and only accessible by authorised parties
How can you ensure robust data protection while re-using health data?
Health data use is tightly governed. However, the regulatory requirements need careful understanding and are subject to change.
Organisations around the world who provide services to EU citizens have to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
GDPR has to work alongside with other aspects of information governance such as ethics, security and contractual obligations
Organisations need to provide assurance of the processes, tools and practices that are in force when using the health ICT system. Privacy, ethical, security and data protection compliance is essential.
Having robust policies, codes and practices is important, and ensuring all your staff understand appropriate data protection is equally important.
Convince your stakeholders of your trustworthy use of health data
We have developed two sets of practical solutions to address the compliance and assurance needs of organisations handling health data. Our programmes focus on education, support and advisory services.
We educate and align your staff through a customised GDPR course that connects to your specific needs
We assess the conformity of your processes, tools and practices against a unique set of international ISO-accredited criteria
The i~HD team has acquired its knowledge of information governance during 30 years of experience in R&D projects. In addition, our team members liaise with a task force composed of leaders across Europe in law, information governance and security, engineering and regulatory oversight.
We connect their expertise to data users such as pharmaceutical companies, medtech, hospitals, research projects and initiatives that analyse health data in order to improve their healthcare services and speed up innovative research.
