The ESR has joined a large multistakeholder group, representing 36 organisations across healthcare, in issuing a new statement on the European Health Data Space (EHDS). Setting out a list of key recommendations for the implementation phase, this statement aims to address some of the remaining challenges in the draft regulation.
The recommendations cover the following issues:
- Address the risk of a fragmented interpretation and implementation of opt-out and opt-in mechanisms
- Provide clear information to patients
- Limit the additional burden on healthcare professionals
- Interoperability of EHRs in Practice
- Enhance legal clarity & improve definitions
- Ensure systematic stakeholder involvement throughout the implementation and operation phases
