Better health systems
Secondary use of health data can play a crucial role in improving
health systems. It has the potential to:
- Make health systems more sustainable and equitable
- Improve patient care
- Transform our ability to diagnose diseases earlier, treat them more effectively or even prevent them from occurring
- Enable physicians to make more timely, confident therapy decisions
- Help governments make reliable decisions on their investment in healthcare and health systems
- Support personalised healthcare throughout the entire patient journey
- Develop new and more effective therapies by training AI systems using data from past clinical trials

Country policy readiness
This report builds on the ODI’s 2021 report on the secondary use of health data, which contained analysis
for the European Commission (EC) and for 29 countries in the European region: 25 EU member states, and
Israel, Norway, Switzerland, and the UK.
We hope that this report can help contribute to a wider understanding of the work that needs to be done in each country and provide the inspiration to work collaboratively across the Western Balkans region.
