This in turn leads to improved, future-oriented patient care. The project bundles and integrates the competencies of 12 leading university hospitals in Germany as well as other partners from science and industry. The partners are working together across organizations and institutions with the goal of establishing a network of data integration centers to make healthcare data usable across sites. Clinical use cases are used as examples to show how data, information and knowledge from care and research can be linked across sites for the benefit of patients. > ###### The HiGHmed Consortium is part of the [Medical Informatics Initiative (MII)](https://www.medizininformatik-initiative.de/en/start)funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. In addition to the HiGHmed Consortium, there are three other medical informatics consortia: [MIRACUM](https://www.miracum.org/), [SMITH](https://www.smith.care/en/) and [DIFUTURE](https://difuture.de/). ## Goals To increase the efficiency of clinical research and to translate research results more quickly into validatable improvements in patient care, the development and use of innovative information infrastructures is essential. To this end, concepts have been and are being developed to establish a network of data integration centers at the sites across organizations and institutions and to expand it continuously in subsequent years. The goal is to enable clinicians to make data-driven and patient-centered decisions. ## More information about the HiGHmed Consortium: HiGHmed Consortium | Project Partners [HiGHmed Consortium | Associated Partners](https://www.highmed.org/en/highmed-associated-partners?hsLang=en) [HiGHmed Consortium | Governance](https://www.highmed.org/en/highmed-governance-bodies?hsLang=en) [HiGHmed Consortium | Technical Concept](https://www.highmed.org/en/highmed-technical-concept?hsLang=en) [HiGHmed Consortium | HiGHmeducation](https://www.highmed.org/en/highmed-highmeducation?hsLang=en) [HiGHmed Consortium | UC Infection Control](https://www.highmed.org/en/highmed-use-case-infection-control?hsLang=en) [HiGHmed Consortium | UC Oncology](https://www.highmed.org/en/highmed-use-case-oncology?hsLang=en) [HiGHmed Consortium | UC Cardiology](https://www.highmed.org/en/highmed-use-case-cardiology?hsLang=en) ![BMBF](https://www.highmed.org/hs-fs/hubfs/CD/Logo/BMBF_gefo%CC%88rdert%20vom_englisch%5B1%5D%5B1%5D.jpg?width=600&height=416&name=BMBF_gefo%CC%88rdert%20vom_englisch%5B1%5D%5B1%5D.jpg) ![MII](https://www.highmed.org/hubfs/CD/Logo/Logo_MII_engl_rgb_600px.jpg) #### About Us Through a strong commitment towards data sciences in health, HiGHmed identifies, addresses and resolves the most important issues in medical informatics that modern health care and research are confronted with. ![LOGO_NEU_HIGHMED_transparent](https://www.highmed.org/hs-fs/hubfs/LOGO_NEU_HIGHMED_transparent.png?width=240&height=108&name=LOGO_NEU_HIGHMED_transparent.png)   #### Contact Us HiGHmed e.V.Langer Anger 7-9 69115 Heidelberg geschaeftsstelle@highmed.org #### Follow Us © 2026 HiGHmed // Medical Informatics - [Imprint](https://www.highmed.org/en/imprint) - [Privacy](https://www.highmed.org/en/privacy-policy)
