Symposium «Clinical data for paediatric research: the Swiss approach»

Thursday, 2019/12/05 - Friday, 2019/12/06

Front-line clinicians, paediatric researchers, families, and healthcare system strategizers in Switzerland need immediate access to real world data from electronic health records so they can conduct high quality research that will answer emerging questions in paediatrics and then implement their findings to improve paediatric health care.

This symposium will:

  • Describe the standardized dataset for all paediatric clinics in Switzerland (results of the SPHN project «Harmonizing the collection of health-related data and biospecimens in paediatric hospitals throughout Switzerland»)
  • Describe available data sources for child health in Switzerland and explain how to link them to hospital datasets
  • Share examples of successful initiatives from other countries that have improved paediatric research and care, and describe obstacles, pitfalls, solutions, and workarounds
  • Raise pressing research questions in clinical paediatrics and generate short research sketches in interactive workshops
