Historic moment regarding health data for all citizens and patients in Europe! stay tuned for next actions, perhaps in small steps but a very big footprint for closing the huge health data gap! Easy and fast being the key words here. The EIT Health Scandinavia report on the EHDS implementation https://lnkd.in/dXRjzigj #EHDS #healthdata #patientempowerment

🌐 With the #EHDS Europe takes one step closer to improving patient care by making it easier and faster for patients to access and control their health data and for data to be used to drive healthcare innovation. 🏛️ The European Parliament and the Council of the European Union have now reached a provisional agreement on the European Health Data Space (EHDS), a new regulation making it easier to exchange and access health data at the EU level. The agreement will now need to be endorsed by both the Council and the Parliament. 🔑 Once the law is in effect, key actors including policymakers, health data access bodies, healthcare service providers, health institutions, higher education providers, patient organisations and the digital medical devices industry will have a vital role to play in implementing the regulation-making its bold vision a reality. 📖 Interested in how this can be implemented in the Benelux?  In December we published a report based on a Roundtable discussion with stakeholders, policymakers, and healthcare professionals from Belgium, Luxembourg, and The Netherlands. The expert panel discussed the readiness, challenges, and opportunities for implementing the EHDS in their respective national healthcare systems outlining recommendations for both national and EU policymakers to move forward with the EHDS in the Benelux:  https://bit.ly/3TnyFZj 👉 A pan-European report, which draws insights from our Roundtable Series across Europe, will be launched at the EIT Health Summit in Rotterdam on April 18. Join us there to be part of the discussion:  https://lnkd.in/dvTf2MA #HealthData #HealthcareInnovation Bert Verdonck, Petra Hoogendoorn, Hans Constandt, Nienke Schutte, David Van Laere, sabine Tejpar, Margo van Mol, Menno Kok, Bart Haex, Andrzej Rys
