Nivel develops governance methodology for reuse of health data for research

Nivel and partners have developed a method for achieving a shared governance structure. This method has been deployed in the Dutch National Registry Learning from Data in Nursing Homes. The result, a unique governance structure, is currently being deployed for research involving reuse of nursing home data.

To reuse health data for research, it is important that all parties involved have confidence in its safe and effective use. Governance is one of the pillars of that trust. The governance methodology developed has been applied to the Registry Learning from Data in Nursing Homes (Dutch only).
