The European Health Data Space (EHDS) will expand research potential and make it easier for individuals to access their health data between EU member states. The proposed regulation, which is the result of a provisional agreement between the Council of the EU and the European Parliament, will require all electronic health record (EHR) systems within the EU to comply with the specifications of the European electronic health record exchange format. This addresses the current disparity in the level of digitisation between member states, ensuring interoperability between countries. 💊 For patients, this means that they’d be able to pick up their local prescriptions from a foreign pharmacy while traveling in another EU member state. It would also ensure that doctors have full access to patients' medical records when treating patients who reside in a different member state. 🔬 In addition to benefitting patients with improved treatment options and control over their electronic health data, the regulation would enable researchers and policy-makers to access specific kinds of secure health data, tapping into its enormous potential to inform scientific research and foster a single market for digital health services and products. 🇩🇰 The Central Denmark Region acted as Denmark’s 'competent authority’ in the Joint Action Towards European Health Data Space throughout 2021–2023. AUH Innovation & International Affairs and the Region are currently involved in the EU Joint Action pilot programme, which consists of five use cases to test the utilisation of secondary data across member states. It’s been a long journey that started back in 2020 with the initial policy project work. Now we await the final vote, and prepare to finalise the technical specifications required to apply the regulation in practice when it enters into force over the coming years.

The European Health Data Space: Challenges and Opportunities. Swedish Institute for European Policy Studies Febr 2024. En svensk analys med viktig information för hela hälso-och sjukvårdssystemet: Vårdföretagarna, MedTech-bolag, Life Sciences/Läkemedelsbolag, regioner och kommuner, hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal och forskare. EU skapar en gemensam lag inom området hälso- och sjukvårdsdata, som gör det möjligt att använda avancerade AI-verktyg i hälso- och sjukvården såväl som inom forskning, för mänsklighetens bästa, samtidigt som den enskildes integritet och säkerhet skyddas. Summary In her 2020 State of the Union address, the European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a new legislative proposal to create a European Health Data Space. Its aim is to make electronic health data accessible in order to support healthcare delivery, health research, innovation, effective policymaking and regulation, and personalised medicine. This European Policy Analysis examines the Commission’s proposal and its implications for patients, healthcare providers, market actors and national administrations. The analysis shows that the Commission’s Proposal has significant potential benefits for a wide range of stakeholders. However, concerns still remain regarding aspects such as the empowerment of individuals in relation to their data, adjustments that will need to be made by the healthcare sector, incentives for innovation, and trust in EU governance. At the time of writing, the European Parliament and the Council have adopted their negotiating positions. However, a number of changes are likely to be introduced before the Commission’s Proposal is agreed and can be implemented in the Member States.

🌍🩺 The Council of the EU and the European Parliament have reached a provisional agreement on the European Health Data Space (EHDS) – a groundbreaking initiative to revolutionize health data exchange across the EU. Here's what companies in the health sector should know: 📈 Elevating Access: The EHDS will facilitate easier and faster access to electronic health data for individuals, regardless of their location within the EU. This means smoother operations for healthcare providers and improved patient care. 🔬 Research Advancements: Researchers and policymakers will have unprecedented access to secure health data, empowering them to drive scientific research and health policy-making forward. The EHDS opens doors to a wealth of data for vital public interest research. 🤝 Interoperability Assurance: Ensuring interoperability of electronic health record (EHR) systems across EU member states will streamline data sharing and collaboration. Companies can anticipate more seamless data exchanges and improved efficiency in cross-border healthcare services. 💡 Key Elements: From patient data privacy to trusted data holders, the provisional agreement introduces crucial provisions that safeguard sensitive information and streamline data access. Companies should familiarize themselves with these elements to ensure compliance and leverage the EHDS effectively. 📅 Next Steps: While the agreement awaits formal adoption by the Council and the Parliament, companies in the health sector should prepare for the EHDS's imminent impact. Stay tuned for further developments and get ready to embrace a new era of health data management and exchange in Europe. #Healthcare #HealthTech #EURegulations #DataManagement #EHDS #HealthDataExchange #Research #Interoperability#EHR #Compliance #eu #GDPRLocal

Digital Health Festival is amongst the leading Digital Health symposiums in the Country. Australia's world class health system is being transformed by the digitisation and interoperability of the systems that support patients and our Healthcare workforce. I am looking forward to hearing Johannes (Johan) Swanepoel present, "FHIR up Clinical Guidelines with platforms for safe AI" at 12.30pm Wednesday 8th May His talk explores why we need hyper-automation in healthcare and then examines an example that demonstrates the art of the possible with practical use cases. These cases aim to alleviate the burden on Healthcare professionals while providing improved patient outcomes. Additionally, Johan will discuss some of the foundational components that Government and industry are putting in place, and why a platform that delivers speed, scale, and trust is required to drive adoption.

🌟 Significant strides in European healthcare! The European Parliament and Council have forged a consensus on the European Health Data Space (EHDS), heralding a new chapter for the management and accessibility of health data across the EU.   For healthcare providers, this is a call to action:   🔑 Embrace Interoperability: A unified electronic health record exchange format under EHDS will facilitate unparalleled connectivity. This isn't just about compliance. It's about embracing a system where patient information is borderless and healthcare delivery is seamless.   🌿 Growth Through Standards: Interoperable strategies enable healthcare providers to grow and evolve. By ensuring easy access to health data, providers can enhance the quality of care and patient outcomes. This is an investment in future-proofing our healthcare systems.   🌱 Nurturing Innovation: The harmonisation spurred by EHDS opens doors to research and development, enabling capture of real-world evidence that can lead to better patient care outcomes. As healthcare providers, enabling data for collaborative research is both our privilege and our responsibility to support improved patient well-being.   🔒 Privacy as Priority: Adopting a standards-based approach does not come at the expense of patient confidentiality. With clear guidelines on data usage and opt-out provisions, we can maintain trust and integrity in our relationships with patients. The journey towards a health data space that benefits all stakeholders is complex but necessary. By participating proactively in this transformation, healthcare providers can lead the way in offering superior care, benefiting from a rich environment of shared knowledge and resources.   Let's welcome the EHDS as a significant advancement for the health sector and a positive step towards a more integrated, efficient, and patient-centred healthcare system across Europe Christopher Brice, Peter Stone Jamey Baszuk Mike Pomerance Mike Myers Patric Nilson Michael Burke Peter Lager Bo Eklund Fermin Calvo Torre Ivan Vazquez Sthephanie Colmenares Garcia Dan Sperring Anette Broberg Mohamed Fallah Wilco Schuttelaar Robert de Vries Patrik Wahlberg Patrick Zondag Jonas Tiedtke Aaron Knott Lyle McMillin Leonard Kim Kim Stavrinakis Tammy Duthie Don D.
