IHE Catalyst and HL7 @ RHFH
How to better implement Health Information Exchange projects in the context of the new EHDS Regulation?
Co-designed by IHE Catalyst + HL7 Finland
Tuesday 21 May 2024 | 14:30-17:00 | Room 205
The objective of this workshop is the present and review best practices for implementing complex healthcare digital transformation projects. In a response to new needs after COVID-19 pandemic, the European Union launched in May 2022 a proposal for a new regulation for the establishment of the European Health Data Space (EHDS), which aims to improve individuals’ access to and control over their personal electronic health data, while also enabling certain data to be reused for public interest, policy support, and scientific research purposes. The EHDS provides a health-specific data environment that will help foster a single market for digital health services and products. This session will address key aspects that need to be taken into account when designing interoperability projects in the new era of the EHDS.
