Implementing the European Health Data Space
On May 3, 2022, the European Commission proposed the European Health Data Space (EHDS), one of nine Knowledge and Innovation Communities (KICs) of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), an EU body. The aim of the EHDS aim is to facilitate access to health information across the EU while upholding high data protection standards.
After a full year of research on the ground, the insights collected and presented in this report
reflect the complexity of implementing the upcoming European Health Data Space (EHDS) legislation, in the context of increasingly dense regulatory landscapes and immense diversity in the Member States’ national, sometimes regional, health systems. The views of experts and stakeholders who were consulted in the course of this initiative reflect the challenges, opportunities and potential solutions for an efficient and sustainable development of the EHDS. The report also explores existing practices and projects that could help the relevant actors achieve this goal.
