Data is a foundational resource in the digital transformation process, and data sharing and collaboration can help address some of society’s biggest challenges, particularly in the context of health. However, there remain challenges – in terms of perceptions, lack of legal clarity, and the availability of appropriate tools – to ensure that data can be shared in a trusted way. In order to use data to better understand patients’ history, behavior, and needs, and to enable healthcare professionals and research organizations to become more efficient and innovative, we need to address such challenges together. One challenge is how governance mechanisms for health data can be designed to share and access data in a way that addresses while remaining effective.

Policymakers play a key role in facilitating a more open and collaborating approach to sharing by ensuring appropriate frameworks that allow those who wish to share, access, and benefit from data to do so effectively
