The HDH offers a range of services:

• A one-stop shop: For requests for access to data from the National Health Data System (consumption of outpatient care, hospitalisations, lab results, etc.)
• A catalogue: To make priority data available to the community (historical SNDS, cohorts, registers, hospital data, etc.)
• A secure technological platform: For storage, calculation, reconciliation and data analysis capabilities
• A network: To connect all the players in the ecosystem

I have a project, how can contacting the HDH be of use to me?

The HDH supports projects by providing resources adapted to the needs for:

• Setting up the project (establishing contact with the relevant players, etc.)
• Accessing the data (administrative and regulatory procedures, assistance with contracting, etc.)
• Collecting the data (support for data structuring, etc.)
• Enhancing the value of the data (making the technological platform available, etc.)
• Promoting the results (communication events, etc.)

At what stage of my project should I contact them?

• As soon as the potential interest in using SNDS data is considered;
• When the application to access the data is submitted
