Background
The BRIDGE Health project investigated various structural options for creating an organisational entity that could take up the tasks that come with the need for strengthening the EU health information system. This analysis concludes that a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) is currently the most feasible solution. With a core set of European countries, BRIDGE Health developed the ERIC on Health Information for Research and Evidence-based Policy (HIREP-ERIC) by setting out its activities and structure.
Main body
The HIREP-ERIC functions as a house of networks, linking national and international experts and research facilities. The HIREP-ERIC will not do what other stakeholders already do, but liaise and guide its users to available and comparable data and information tools. Its core activities will evolve around 4 functions. Firstly, the ERIC generates knowledge by providing valid, reliable and comparable health data and indicators. It fills the gaps where data collection is lacking and analyses comparable datasets. Secondly, the HIREP-ERIC manages knowledge by allowing better access to data through virtual and distributed platforms. Thirdly, it exchanges knowledge by enhancing best practice exchange between Member States and support mutual learning by focussed capacity building. It will support more and stronger health research networks and communities. Finally, the HIREP-ERIC translates knowledge of health research outcomes to the general public and policy makers and enables researchers to optimise their research outputs to better suit target groups.
Conclusions
The ERIC enables to take up health information issues transparently, systematically and sustainably. Through the HIREP-ERIC, Member States will improve their data and indicators, have better access to existing health information, strengthen their national research expertise, improve the translation of health information and reinforce their national information systems.
