As health system leaders worldwide strive to achieve the seamless flow of data across providers, systems and regions, they have one crucial question to address: How to facilitate data exchange between multiple stakeholders while preserving and maintaining a robust foundation of trust? Why is collaboration key to securing this trust, and how do system planners balance the need to protect user privacy against the demand to share ever-increasing quantities of data to improve healthcare efficiency and outcomes and to drive research? This session will present the experience of the European Union through the Smart Open Services for European Patients (EPSOS) project for sharing health data with multi-stakeholders, and discuss the most important challenges facing this initiative. A panel of international experts will address the possibility of replicating this model within the Middle East as well as discussing aspects of cooperation between the Arab health systems.
