My name is Laura Sophie Wegner, and I am a senior at Harvard University, majoring in Economics and Computer Science. I am currently working on my Bachelor’s Thesis, which involves analyzing the impact of the Estonian e-health system on patient outcomes in Estonia. My thesis advisors are renowned experts in the field: * David Cutler, former senior healthcare advisor to President Barack Obama and a professor at Harvard. * David Bates, a professor at Harvard Medical School and a leading innovator in Electronic Health Record systems. * Matthew Basilico, a resident doctor at Yale Medical School and a Harvard professor. To support my research, I am seeking health data from Estonia covering the period from approximately 2004 to the present. Specifically, I am interested in data related to the prevalence of medical errors, hospital admission rates, life expectancy, and other relevant health metrics. While there is substantial public data available, I am looking for more granular data at the hospital and patient levels. Could you please guide me on which departments or contacts I should reach out to for requesting such data? Any assistance or direction you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time and help. Best regards, Laura Sophie Wegner
