Part I (before lunch): Navigating the Roadmap of Setting-Up a Health Data Sharing Initiative
During this session, the participants will be introduced into the high-level roadmap of setting-up a data sharing initiative. We will delve into the initial stages of ideation, mission-vision definition, stakeholder identification, and engagement strategies necessary to establish a solid foundation required to successfully kick-start the initiatives.
Afterwards, we will introduce them into the process of fine-tuning the idea, governance principles, data collection, harmonization, quality assessment, and finally, transforming data into insightful visualizations, ensuring a holistic approach towards initiative setup.
Part II (afternoon): Practical Examples and Hands-On Exercises
Some basic concepts of data handling and analyses will be explained through simple hands-on exercises. For example, participants will engage in practical exercises involving transforming data from patient-level to aggregated, while also addressing concerns such as handling missing data and ensuring data quality. Next to this, we will explore how insights can be visualized through a dashboard interface.
- Important note - these exercises will be simple and will not require coding experience or expertise in data science.
