Progress with attaining benefits from Health Information Technology (HIT) investments requires UK policymakers and others to negotiate challenges in developing structures and processes to catalyse the trustworthy secondary uses of HIT-derived data
Potential informants were selected based on their current activities related to secondary uses of data held in HIT systems in the UK, with additional, international participants being invited from regions with a world-wide reputation for work involving HIT-derived data
Substantial investments made in HIT are producing a wealth of digital data with the potential to benefit our knowledge of diseases, drug safety, service delivery and public health
Summary
Progress with attaining benefits from Health Information Technology (HIT) investments requires UK policymakers and others to negotiate challenges in developing structures and processes to catalyse the trustworthy secondary uses of HIT-derived data. Substantial investment is supporting a nationwide Administrative Data Research Network (ADRN) designed to facilitate researcher access to other datasets that are routinely collected by government departments.[2] These developments are in response to the escalating role of digital data in society and a wealth of health-related data becoming available following national and international implementations of Health Information Technology (HIT). Progress with realising potential benefits for patients, public health, society and the economy from the investments in HIT systems relies on policymakers and others negotiating challenges for developing secondary uses of HIT-derived data
