Experts Group on Health Information (EGHI)

The Experts Group on Health Information (EGHI) is a consultative structure with representatives from all the Member States to support the overall implementation mechanisms for the health strategy with regard to health information. In particular, the Experts Group on Health Information should:

• work together with the Commission to agree on needs and solutions for European health information and reconcile the technical issues and resource constraints of this information with the overall EU policy and strategic needs;

• assist in defining and overseeing technical work needed to achieve this work;

• act as a platform for cooperation and collaboration on health information at European level. EGHI meetings.

Technical groups or other consultative structures under the EGHI

Technical groups could be established to take forward work in specific areas, and would report back to the EGHI. These technical groups have a specific and time-limited mandate to achieve a specific result, rather than becoming a standing structure. The ongoing operational technical groups are:

• Task Force on Health Expectancies
• Subgroup on the European Health Examination Survey
• European Community Health Indicators Monitoring Group
