# Our identity.
HIGHmed is a large-scale medical informatics project within the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) that develops novel, interoperable solutions to optimise the accessibility of medical patient data for clinical research and education. By establishing secure data integration centres and innovative technology development across sites, the aim is to improve patient care and enable data-based decisions for clinicians.
"The great challenge of building a sustainable, data-driven and patient-centered healthcare system is best met together - with progressive concepts and bold inventiveness. HIGHmed brings together numerous outstanding academic and industrial partners. Together, we are working on innovative solutions to link healthcare and research even better in the future - for the benefit of all patients."
**Prof. Dr. Roland Eils**
HiGHmed leader
# Our quest for progress.
HIGHmed Association was founded to permanently establish the structures and solutions developed within the HiGHmed consortium. The association also supports the management, coordination and implementation of further research initiatives within the HIGHmed ecosystem in order to quickly transfer new research findings into practice. This enables the sustainable improvement of prevention, diagnosis, therapy and care.
# (INTER)NATIONAL COOPERATIONS + STRATEGIC ALLIANCES
###### Part of our work is to promote the cooperation with institutions from different areas, including the scientific, political, and industrial sector. The HIGHmed Association hosts seminars, symposia, and workshops with external partners and establishes national and international cooperations and strategic alliances. The coordination, implementation, and operationalization of central data infrastructure and data management, as well as the definition of and compliance with uniform and transparent standards for the collection, storage and use of data forms the core of our work.
