How are we working to improve secondary use of health data? 

Health data refers to the information generated from delivering health care to populations, including through electronic health records, health insurance claims, disease registries, and clinical trials. Secondary use of health data is the processing of the health data for purposes other than the initial purposes for which data were collected. Experts from WHO/Europe, European Commission, and the Danish Health Data Authority explain how secondary use of health data benefits patients in the WHO European Region.
