It was a privilege to share my thoughts and experience on the ‘secondary use of healthcare data’ along with wonderful panelists @HIMSS23 European Health Conference in Lisbon, last month. In today's digital age, healthcare data can create more social & economical value through secondary uses rather collected primarily for providing direct patient care e.g. innovation & research, Artificial Intelligence (AI), data-driven policy making, quality improvement, planning for effective & efficient services. To change data into valuable asset requires a system and a mindset of transforming it into health intelligence!
The secondary use of data also presents several challenges;
? Safeguarding Privacy?
? Data quality and accuracy ?
? Interoperability and standardization for integration

? Consent management and regulatory compliance?
? Lack of data science & analytic skills for generating health intelligence
Many countries have struck a good balance between data collection and wider utilisation by dealing with those challenges and set trail-blazing examples of creating value through health intelligence. #Scotland (Predicting patients at risk of admission and readmission to hospital), #England (Atlas of Variation to improve unwarranted differences in patient outcomes), #Qatar (Health Information Exchange to integrate the whole health sector data innovatively), #Turkiye (e-Pulse, an application citizens and health professionals use to access patient record while safeguarding privacy with full interoperability), #Denmark (best population based clinical registries) & #Finland?(forerunner in utilising data for healthcare innovations) – a few of many good examples across the globe. So, let us help countries and organisations not to become data rich and intelligence poor, while intending to achieve the best health value for patients and populations!?

1 年thank you Mahmood Adil, it was nice to hear your thoughts on this very important topic in EU and across the globe!

1 年useful and nice summary. It is important to emphasize that national data collection should not place excessive burden on front-line healthcare and administrative staff. The goal should be to streamline and optimize front-line work practices and processes, focusing on improving the experience for both patients and staff. This approach would naturally leads to the generation of high-quality, reliable data that can then be effectively utilized for the purposes mentioned in the post.
