The European Health Data Space (EHDS) is a key initiative under the European Health Union, designed to empower individuals with control over their health data and facilitate its exchange across the EU for healthcare delivery. It also aims to create a unified market for electronic health records and establish a secure, trustworthy system for reusing health data in research and policymaking.
Together with our partners, CPE is actively calling for the European Health Data Space to be implemented in a way that provides most added value for patients and European health systems. If you would like to learn more, click on the following relevant links.
