FinHITS project aims to expand Findata’s digital business capabilities and strengthen the connection with HealthData@EU pilot project.
Key challenges
Finnish Social and Health Data Permit Authority (Findata) grants permits for the secondary use of social and health care data and improve data protection for individuals. Findata has been operational since the beginning of 2020, but to comply with the upcoming requirements of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) the services of Findata require further development.
How we reached the goals
Spinverse helped Findata with concepting, proposal writing and budgeting.
Key takeaways
The objectives of FinHITS project are:
1. Increase the capabilities of its current Data Access Applications Management System.
2. Further develop the Finnish National Dataset Catalogue to ensure system availability, internationalization and data quality.
3. Strengthen its current Secure Processing Environment by improving its capabilities and developing tools for anonymization.
4. Create a Cross-Border Gateway to connect with the HealthData@EU infrastructure.
5. Enhance health data quality by developing tools, support, guidelines and ready-made-datasets that will be made available to all data producers and data users. By sharing experiences, Finland will inspire and help other member states to build their systems and avoid unnecessary pitfalls.
Impact of the project
Strengthening the Finnish data infrastructure to ensure efficient and secure secondary use of health data and enabling Finland to integrate seamlessly into the EHDS.
