Sixty-fourth Regional Committee for Europe: Copenhagen, 15–18 September 2014: health information systems in Europe: where are we going?

The data for the core health indicators were compiled, validated and processed in a standard way by WHO, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), EUROSTAT, other United Nations agencies and international networks, in order to improve the international comparability of the statistics. Nevertheless, many factors may influence the accuracy and comparability of national statistics, such as variation in definitions, incomplete registration, and other national specificities in data recording and processing. The international comparison of indicators should therefore always be interpreted with caution. Four mortality-based indicators (life expectancy and rates for infant, child (under 5 years) and maternal mortality) are presented, based on official mortality data from countries. Cause-specific mortality rates (indicators 15–21) are age-standardized death rates, calculated using the European standard population structure (see the European Mortality Database (http://data.euro. who.int/hfamdb/help/mTechnical.htm)). Age- standardization improves international comparability by removing the effects in mortality rates of intercountry differences in population age structures. The proportion of ill-defined causes of death is used as an indication of the quality of the certification and coding of causes of death. The bottom row in the data tables, the WHO European Region, gives the population-weighted average for all countries in the Region for which data are available. The exception is indicator 1, mid- year population, where the value is the sum of the countries’ populations. © World Health Organization 2014 All rights reserved.

In addition, one charitable foundation – the Wellcome Trust – that is supporting the health information work of the Regional Office will provide its vision for evidence and information for well-being in Europe.  Each panellist will present a short overview of the concrete steps taken in his or her respective agency to enhance information for health and well-being in collaboration with partner organizations. The Regional Office will expand on the roadmap towards a health information system for Europe with the EC and OECD, the European Health Information Initiative, the launch of the new EURO health information web portal and present other tools that support Member States in the strengthening of their health information systems.  The main thrust of the session, however, will be the discussion following the panel presentation, which will include feedback from participants on their views of progress made, their expectations from the panellists and proposals for the next steps to be taken. = = =
