Background: Comprehensive provision of access to and sharing of centralized health data involves a wide range of steps, from standardizing the content of primary data to ensuring efficient collection, follow-up, and editing of data to its publication with guaranteed updates and considering user feedback.

Results: Health data are presented in several complementary formats that directly meet the needs of the target groups. Open data, data summaries, analytical reports, interactive visualizations, infographics, and scientific publications on the individual components of the National Health Information System form 1 complex information service. An example is the National Register of Reproductive Health, whose data clearly show the quality of Czech health care in this medical domain.
