Evidence-based health policy cannot exist without real-world data. We are at a juncture where information and communication technologies can provide the answer and the necessary data to change the health system and the quality of health services, mentioned Mr Karanikas, Associate Professor of Medical Informatics and e-Health Systems of the Department of Computer Science and Biomedical Informatics of the University of Thessaly, speaking yesterday at the annual #HealthIT23 conference.
Mr. Karanikas spoke about the importance of health data, which should follow the citizen, so it should have a substance regardless of applications. This should also be done for clinical data, because it is this data that will enable us, once freed from the islands of different applications that exist in Greece, to work for the benefit of the patient. In addition to citizens, healthcare professionals should be facilitated in finding health data for their patients, as should digital health providers for their products.
