HSCT 2021 - Joined Up Data Equals Better Care: Facilitating Health and Social Care Transformation through Trustworthy and Collaborative Data Sharing: Welcome and Workshop Summary

To realise the benefits of health and social care transformation for communities and individuals, we need strong multi-disciplinary and cross-organisational understanding of how data sharing initiatives – both existing and emerging (e.g., data collaboratives, data foundations, data trusts) – support multi-party sharing of regulated data in ways that are socially acceptable, trustworthy, sustainable, and scalable. The workshop will provide a forum for discussion by bringing together a multi-disciplinary group of researchers and practitioners with a wide range of specialisms – e.g., health care and social care practice, cyber-security, data governance, (health) data science, social science, ethics, law, public health planning and policy, technology and innovation – to explore the state of the art, challenges, and future research directions for trustworthy and collaborative sharing of regulated data, as well as the insights generated from these activities.
