Working Groups
The Personalized Health Informatics Group (PHI) operates Working Groups to provide interoperability for the Swiss Personalized Health Network.
The DASAQ Working Group develops standardization and basic quality control processes for hospital data. Standardization and coding of data should happen as early as possible in the processing chain in order to be universally usable (for research and other purposes, e.g., support of registries, public health data collections, data deliveries to authorities, etc.).
