Using health data for quality monitoring, business development and for evidence-based policy work is addressed in the EHDS (European Health Data Space). EHDS proposes common European legislation to ensure access to health data for both primary and secondary use. 
From a health informatics perspective, there is a palette of tools and standards that make information easier to use for statistical analysis and in the long run contribute to more data-driven ways of working.

The presentation highlights:

• Informatics that enables secondary use of health data 
• Reference models and standards for secondary use (e.g. OMOP) and its connection to health informatics standards (e.g FHIR) 
• International examples of standardization and reference models for research data
• How tools for secondary use of data can create benefit in healthcare organizations
