New EU-level actions required to enable more efficient sharing of health data across the European Union

New research commissioned by the European Commission, DG Sante, from the institute for health services research, NIVEL in collaboration with RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences, has identified potential future EU-level actions to enable the more efficient sharing of healthcare data across the EU.

The actions, which include the development of a Code of Conduct for data collection and sharing along with other non-legislative and legislative actions, would support the establishment of a European Health Data Space to regulate and ensure a consistent approach to healthcare data exchange and improve healthcare provision, research and policy-making across Europe.
