Secure Exchange of Health Data in Europe
The European Health Data Space (EHDS) is an initiative of the European Union aimed at promoting the secure exchange of health data between different countries. The goal is to enable an European network of health information to improve health research and patient care. The EHDS ensures that data is standardised, pseudonymised or anonymised, and easily accessible, thus optimising the quality and use of health data.
Objectives and Strategic Implementation at the National Level
During the two-day event, NFDI4Health engaged with stakeholders from the Federal Ministry of Health (BMG), the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII), the Technologie- und Methodenplattform für vernetzte medizinische Forschung e.V. (TMF), the Network of University Medicine (NUM), and other organisations to discuss suitable coordination structures, as well as the implementation and validation of data quality in the EHDS. The data request and provision process was also a key topic. In smaller discussion groups, participants looked at the role of data users from a user journey perspective. Under the moderation of Juliane Fluck (NFDI4Health), Sebastian C. Semler (TMF), Ralf Heyder (NUM), and Frank Wissing (GFDI Coordination Group at MII/NUM), they outlined future roles, tasks, and responsibilities within the EHDS.
Outlook on Collaboration
We are pleased to be part of this important exchange on the future of health data management in Germany and to contribute our experiences and expertise. We look forward to continued collaboration!
