Abstract: The BRIDGE (Bridging Information and Data Generation for Evidence-Based Policy and Research) Health Project-Platform for administrative data on health will provide insight on how to build a data infrastructure based on individual patient-level data and exploring the integration of routinely collected administrative data from different European experiences. Policy context: The European health care roadmap is set upon three pillars: strengthening health care effectiveness, increasing accessibility, and improving resilience. On top of the EU instruments foreseen to reach those goals are the assessment of health systems' performance (HSPA) and the routine use of existing health information systems. Background: ECHO, the European Collaborative for Healthcare Optimization, has provided abundant insight on how to use administrative data to inform unwarranted variations in health care performance in a small sample of EU countries. Goal: Building upon lessons from the ECHO project, WP10 team within BRIDGE-Health aims at providing insight on how to build a Europe-wide knowledge infrastructure based on administrative data sources and meant to analyse health care systems.
