EuroREACH explores how coordination among innovations for better healthcare information systems and performance measurement at national, European and international levels can lead to improved access to data for cross-country, comparative research. This will be undertaken for a broad range of questions into the efficiency, quality and equity of healthcare services for people with chronic conditions. Results will include guidance to data access; policy lessons on good practice of national and international performance measurement and information system design, including questions of data linkages, data protection and mapping to international classifications and data framework.
