- Opportunity for change

Palga Foundation and Farminform have found each other in a shared vision of the future of healthcare. In this picture, several parties are working together to enable insight into healthcare data for various parties. Not as an end in itself, but as an opportunity to change the current healthcare landscape. We want to make healthcare cheaper by making better use of already available healthcare data. We do this in a transparent way, with data from the source.

- Conclusion VIG Talk: Sharing is the New Collaboration

Data sharing is necessary in order to conduct more research into the effectiveness and safety of medicines. Approximately 10 to 15% of medicines do not end up in the right place. From a medical-ethical perspective, this is not acceptable. That is why 'more collaboration' must become the norm, said Luuk Renfurm (managing director Farminform) and Ron Herings during their VIG talk on 9 June.
