Findata was established in 2019 following the enforcement of the Act on the Secondary Use of Health and Social Data in Finland. This made us one of the first health data permit authorities in the EU.
With the European Health Data Space (EHDS) on the horizon, now is the time to build on our hands-on experience.
To support Finland’s smooth integration into the EHDS, we have launched FinHITS – a four-year project co-funded by the European Union to strengthen Finnish health data ICT for the secondary use of health data. Through FinHITS, we are further developing our services to make them even more user-friendly and secure for efficient secondary use.
By sharing our experiences, we aim to support other countries in building their own systems – and help them avoid unnecessary pitfalls along the way.
