Abstract
The European Health Data Space (EHDS) regulation is a significant legislative development aimed at enhancing access to and control over personal electronic health data, thus facilitating a single market for digital health services and products across the EU. Its implementation requires healthcare providers to navigate complex regulatory requirements and make technological upgrades to ensure data interoperability, security, and compliance. This initiative is expected to improve the efficiency and accuracy of patient care services, promote scientific advancements through better access to health data for research, and foster a more transparent and trustworthy European health ecosystem.
"The EHDS transforms access to personal health data in the EU, enhancing interoperability and security for individuals and healthcare providers. It can improve patient care and enable innovative research. Yet, maintaining trust and complying with privacy standards demands significant IT investment and ongoing vigilance." — Research Analyst Federico Mayr IDC Health Insights
"The EHDS presents an unprecedented opportunity for European healthcare systems. Healthcare organizations must closely monitor and engage in EHDS projects at the European and national level. By understanding best practices and requirements through specific use cases, they can transform theoretical potential into tangible benefits and deliver impactful solutions from day one." — Research Director Silvia Piai, IDC Health Insights
