Final report
Publication metadata
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant societal impact in the EU and has highlighted the importance of improved digital health services for citizens and of timely access to health data for research and policy making purposes. Development and use of a European interoperable digital infrastructure and data ecosystem for secondary uses of data could facilitate secure cross-border analysis of health data and linking points of access/digital infrastructures at national level. The objective of this study is to present insights and evidence-based conclusions on a health data infrastructure and contribute to the impact assessment of options for a European Health Data Space (EHDS). 18 workshops were conducted with a purposive sample of 69 stakeholders who are actively engaged in health data uses and infrastructures. Semi-structured questionnaires were sent after each workshop, followed up by a survey on the cost-effectiveness of the presented digital health infrastructure options. The results revealed that the infrastructure for cross-border exchange of health data for primary uses (MyHealth@EU) could be extended with additional patient-centric services. In the area of secondary uses of health data, a new cross-border infrastructure would enable multi-country re-use of health data for research, innovation, policy-making or regulatory activities, among others.
