EuroREACH explores how coordination among recent innovations for better health care information systems and performance measurement at a national, European and international level can lead to improved access to data for cross-country, comparative research. Euroreach aims to ensure comparability and harmonization of health data for cross-country research.
The project will also provide a toolbox of guidance to researchers, policymakers and other stakeholders interested in cross-country research by: Identifying information sources of patient-level, disease-based data; b) Offering guidance on key data challenges such as data access, linkage and comparability; c) Highlighting gaps in existing data to encourage data collection in underrepresented areas.
