In March (5 Thursdays), PHIRI will organise an online Spring School on Health Information, themed “COVID-19 Health Information Innovations for the Future”. The topics included feature:

• Innovative health information data collection, sources, metrics and indicators;

• Health data analysis and interpretation;

• Transfer from health data to policy, interoperability and clinical practice;

• Data protection (GDPR) and ethical questions for health information;

• A Sustainable future for health information in Europe – being ready for the next pandemics.

After a keynote introduction to the topic and a brief showcase of PHIRI Health Information activities, there will be a set of presentations addressing COVID-19 health information innovation in European countries. There is room for questions and discussion after the sessions. Every week there will be a group exercise.

A certificate (a record of achievement) will be available to participants participated in 80% (4 out of 5) of the sessions and finalised all exercises including the final essay on COVID-19 innovation.
