Porto's Declaration on Health Data Quality
This Declaration, curated by the i-HD (The European Institute for Innovation through Health Data) is the outcome of the Health Data Quality: a Dynamic Complexity summit event held in Porto on 17 & 18 November 2022. The first international conference ever held on the topic of health data quality. The conference’s objective was to demonstrate the dynamic complexity of high-quality data, as well as for primary and secondary use. The Porto declaration is the result of an interactive conference with over 400 experts, representing multiple -public and industry stakeholders, including key policy-making bodies such as the European Commission, the WHO and a number of national governments.
Develop and promote data quality standards and labelling
1. Decision makers and data scientists must work together - urgently - on a European standard for data quality labelling for primary and secondary data use, including provenance and FAIR reuse metadata.
2. Multiple healthcare and research funders must be prepared to co-finance the development of these data quality standards, their adoption into labels and products and the upgrade of deployed systems to ensure standardised high-quality, high-value data for all.
Develop and certify digital health products to have data quality by design.
3. ICT companies, especially EHR system developers, must build in “data quality by design” so that users find it easy to enter high-quality data and can tell the quality of the data they access and use.
4. ICT companies, especially EHR system developers, must value the quality, reliability, and trustworthiness of the health data their systems create and process, and certify their products against these criteria.
Require data quality labels within all digital health and research products
5. Member States and the European Commission must align their evidence requirements, including data quality requirements, for the approval of digital health innovations within European health systems.
6. Purchasers of digital health products and platforms, including EHR systems, must prioritize the adoption of systems that facilitate and label high-quality health data.
Invest in education and organizational change to improve data quality
7. Health and Finance ministries, health insurers and the data-using industry sectors must align their KPIs to join forces to invest in high-quality data in health-related activity. Furthermore, all stakeholders involved should engage in educating and empowering patients (and patient organizations) and the public to capture their own data to a high quality and to encourage its use for purposes they support.
8. Secondary use stakeholders must urgently support healthcare organizations with the uptake of education and the organizational changes needed to improve data quality.
Develop the multi-stakeholder business case for high-quality data
9. Member States and the European Commission must develop and promote business cases for investment to improve health data quality.
10. Member States and the European Commission must establish co-financing frameworks to share out the necessary investments amongst the data user stakeholders
