Bridging Information and Data Generation for Evidence-based Health Policy and Research

Laufzeit: 2015–2017
Finanzierung: EC 3rd Health Programme
Kooperationspartner: HS&I HealthSystemIntelligence, http://www.bridge-health.eu/content/project-team

BRIDGE Health aimed to prepare the transition towards a sustainable and integrated EU health information system for both public health and research purposes. The project bridged the best of EU projects in domains of population and health system monitoring, indicator development, health examination surveys, environment and health, population injury and disease registries, clinical and administrative health data collection systems and methods of health systems monitoring and evaluation. In collaboration with HS&I HealthSystemIntelligence, the DHE led WP12 related to the “evaluation of health care systems”. The aim was to produce blueprints of key health system indicators and data, project outcomes and performance assessment frameworks based on the Health Data Navigator.
