Unlocking the Power of Data: Promptly Health’s Perspective on the G20 Compendium Insights

02/12/2024

The G20 Compendium on Data Access and Sharing paints a compelling vision of how data can drive public interest outcomes. At Promptly Health, we champion this mission by providing a federated large data infrastructure across countries. Our work aligns with the compendium’s focus on enabling data sharing while ensuring privacy, security, and ethical use.

Here's how these themes resonate with our approach:


1. Data for Public Good: Enabling Targeted Solutions

Data integration, as highlighted in the compendium, transforms public service delivery by making it proactive and equitable. At Promptly Health, we help healthcare organizations and governments understand the frameworks needed to access and utilize health data responsibly, ensuring it serves public interest goals while driving impactful healthcare outcomes.


2. Balancing Innovation with Privacy

A key takeaway from the compendium is the necessity of balancing data sharing with privacy protections. At Promptly Health, we emphasize a privacy-by-design approach to ensure ethical use of health data.

  • Our Role: We assist in centralizing existing health data governance structures, helping organizations implement safeguards that align with global standards like the GDPR or sector-specific health regulations, ensuring trust and compliance.

  • Global Insight: Norway’s consent-driven data sharing model exemplifies balancing simplicity and security—an approach we advocate for our partners to build trust and enable innovation in health services.


3. Fostering Public-Private Collaboration

Collaboration across public and private sectors amplifies the societal impact of data sharing. Promptly Health supports initiatives that bridge gaps in healthcare data systems, fostering partnerships that accelerate innovation in healthcare delivery, public health research, and personalized medicine.


4. Building Strong Data Governance Frameworks

The compendium stresses the importance of data governance in maximizing utility while mitigating risks. We help governments and healthcare organizations establish robust governance frameworks tailored to health data challenges.

  • Strategic Vision: By offering insights into best practices from around the globe, we enable the development of interoperable systems that enhance secure health data sharing across sectors.

  • Actionable Guidance: We provide roadmaps for improving regulatory frameworks, fostering health data literacy, and strengthening health data infrastructure—critical pillars for meaningful governance.


5. Strengthening Data Infrastructure for Long-Term Impact

Robust infrastructure is essential for seamless health data access and sharing. Promptly Health specializes in evaluating and improving health data ecosystems to ensure they are equipped for large-scale, secure, and ethical data exchanges that improve patient care and population health outcomes.


6. Driving Sustainable Development Through Data

The compendium underscores the role of data in tackling complex societal issues like healthcare inequities, public health crises, and economic disparity. At Promptly Health, we see health data as a catalyst for advancing sustainable development goals (SDGs).

  • Our Impact: We design frameworks that enable health data use to address public health challenges, enhance health equity, and foster inclusive growth.

  • Case Example: The UK’s BOLD initiative, which links data to address homelessness and health-related crime prevention, reflects the kind of cross-sectoral impact we aim to replicate through our guidance.
