Last week, Quantify’s Head of RWE and Analytics Emilie Toresson Grip were invited to join 70+ leaders from healthcare, academia, and industry to the Swelife High-Level Meeting. The meeting aimed to discuss concrete solutions to health data challenges in Sweden in the light of EHDS adoption and implementation regarding secondary use of data, including suggestions to improve availability of large volumes of harmonized health data.
While there are many challenges ahead, it is clear that agencies, authorities, and regions are all working intensively to build the future health data landscape in Sweden.
Some notable areas with potential:
➡️ Active EHDS working groups now exist at nearly every level in the Swedish public administration system
➡️ Centralised platforms for quality-of-care registers and regional data are important initiatives with large potential for better use of granular clinical information in Sweden
➡️ Awareness of the impressive changes seen in for example the Finnish and Danish data landscape provides inspiration, and there is a vast interest in Quantify’s comparative experience of Nordic RWE studies
Quantify will keep tracking how Swedish health data availability evolves because our clients and projects depend on it.
