ERN Data Management Strategy Workshop in Heidelberg

ERICA WP2 Data Collection, Integration and Sharing organised a face-to-face workshop on building an ERN Data Management Strategy Workshop in Heidelberg on the 17th-18th of October 2022. This multi-stakeholders workshop focused on developing a strategic and operational ERNs Data Management Strategy. Objectives of the workshop were to provide an opportunity for the stakeholders (patients advocates, researchers, industry, and regulatory authorities) to present their needs and expectations regarding the use of ERN registry data and discuss all the relevant aspects of implementing an ERN wide strategy for data management. Based on the results and outcomes of the workshops it is intended to develop a consensus white paper on the ERNs data management strategy. Access and more info via ERICA office.

Repository of Rare Diseases' PROMs

The ERICA Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) Repository is the first attempt to identify and centralize Clinical Assessment Outcomes questionnaires of relevance for rare diseases. It constitutes a milestone in the Europe-wide standardisation of Patient-Centered Outcome Measures (PCOMs) and PROMs for rare diseases. The repository has been made possible through the joint collaboration between OrphanetMapi Research Trust/ICON and ERN EuroBloodNet (VHIR, APHP), and the active contribution of ERNs and ePAGs. The central repository is a dynamic and evolutive service and should be regarded as a centralized and standardised access gate to more in depth information contained in PROQOLID™.
