Overview
Health Information is important for European Union strategic development. Health Information is a comprehensive area, in rapid evolution, including new data collection and data analysis methods, information management tools and translational research for developing new European-wide policies. Health knowledge and information capacities vary across EU member states and the need to reinforce common practices and methods to improve the collection, management and use of health information is recognized.
The main objective of this first training school, designed under the InfAct, the Joint Action on Health Information, is to contribute to increasing knowledge on availability and use of standardized Health Information methods to common practices in EU member states and associate countries.
