Joining the Dots Conference 2019: Ensuring better data for person-centred health and research
The European Institute for Innovation through Health Data (i~HD) has organised a conference on joining the dots to make a powerful impact for more person-centred health and care, optimised research and Learning Health Systems through the reuse of better data.
The conference gathered seven leading European initiatives to exchange use cases, insights, successes and challenges.
DigitalHealthEurope contributed with multi-stakeholder expertise to help shape actionable policy recommendations. The main goal was to finalise a list of forceful calls to action for European Health Ministries which was presented to the eHealth Network meeting during the second day of the conference.
Participants took part in three of the six parallel sessions. The afternoon sessions on Thursday 28th had focus on how EHR systems can be adapted to guide clinicians and patients to manage multimorbidity, started with lunch-time demonstrations of C3-Cloud project’s clinician and patient Solutions.
Calling all patient organisations, health professionals, healthcare providers and payers, research organisations, EHR system vendors and standards bodies to participate in a hands-on and interactive think-tank conference!
Organiser: i~HD in collaboration with DigitalHealthEurope and several other EC funded projects (C3 Cloud, Trillium II, eHAction, EHDEN and EHR2EDC)
