Combining expertise to tackle fragmentation in health and care data 🌐 We have signed an agreement with the Kent, Medway and Sussex Secure Data Environment (KMS SDE) to improve how health and care data is used for research. Currently, data is often stored in separate systems, making it difficult to get a complete view of a person’s care. This partnership aims to create a more connected, secure and efficient way to use data, accelerating research and innovation. The agreement outlines a shared goal to integrate high-quality research data into the Secure Data Environment network, enabling approved researchers to securely access and analyse de-identified data. The collaboration with combine our strengths in digital innovation and research with KMS SDE’s leading governance and technology. Together, we’ll develop a blueprint for how specialist data environments can collaborate with the SDE network to deliver joined-up insights that benefit patients, researchers and the wider system, laying the foundation for future partnerships. Shiren Patel, Head of Innovation Technology and Data Research at Great Ormond Street Hospital DRIVE unit said: “At GOSH, we’re committed to excellence, not just in care, but also in how we manage and use data. By working with KMS SDE, one of the most advanced regional data environments, we can refine our governance model, build a gold-standard framework that others can follow and ensure we remain at the forefront of trusted, high-impact health research.”
Such an exciting collaboration!
