Data-informed Health Policy Webinar

Join us for a webinar on data-informed health policy, where we will explore the crucial role that high-quality data plays in shaping effective public health strategies. Data-informed policy refers to the use of reliable, relevant, and timely data to guide decision-making processes in healthcare, ensuring that interventions are evidence-based and tailored to the needs of the population. This approach improves health outcomes by enabling more targeted actions and efficient use of resources. As healthcare systems become increasingly digital, the collection, harmonization, and analysis of health data are essential for developing policies that promote better access, equity, and outcomes across Europe. 

During the session, we will hear from leading civil society organisations (CSOs) and research institutions on their latest initiatives aimed at enhancing public health through improved data practices. Topics will include best practices for implementing the European Health Data Space, the importance of disaggregated data for addressing health inequities, the return on investment of lifestyle interventions, and strategies for patient empowerment. Additionally, the European Commission will introduce us to their Big Data Test Infrastructure (BDTI), a free, ready-to-use cloud analytics platform available to all European public administrations, designed to facilitate large-scale data analysis and support health policy development.
