Towards an Integrated Health Information System in Korea

Annex A. Consultation with experts

The recommendations presented in this report were supported by a series of interviews and focus group discussions conducted by the OECD team with Korean exerts throughout 2021. Initial interview subjects were identified by HIRA personnel. These interview subjects recommended other experts for the OECD to consult. The OECD continued interviews until the information gathered from key informants began to share similar messages expanding our understanding of the data landscape and recent innovations in Korea.

The OECD thanks and appreciates the contributions of the following experts whose insights, experiences and aspirations informed the development of these recommendations.
