Open letter
The RWD (Real World Data) working group is alarmed by the delays of the CNAM in allowing access to the SNDS data (French national health data system). The group notes that, in practice, between the date of submission of a dossier to the HDH and the actual availability of the data, the time lag now exceeds 10 months. It has been requested that a temporary solution be found, beginning in early 2022, to free up the dozens of dossiers pending at the CNAM, and for which teams are unable to respond in a manner that is timely and suited to both industrial activity and the demands of the Health Authorities.
