DE EN ES FR IT PL

Towards a common European health data structure

The EU envisages the creation of the European eHealth Union for the benefit of citizens and health entities. The EU-funded X-eHealth project will lay the groundwork for a practical, interoperable, secure and cross-border Electronic Health Record exchange format, working towards the improvement of the eHealth sector. With the support of over 40 entities, the project will promote a faster and more sustainable EU digital transformation: consisting of eight work packages, of which four focus exclusively on technical and functional activities, it aims to move towards a uniform interoperable data-sharing format structure. X-eHealth will build on the already existing Patient Summary service and lay the foundations for a common structure for medical imaging, discharge letters, laboratory results and rare diseases.

Objective

X-eHealth’s project stands herein for a project of strategic relevance for tomorrow’s European eHealth Union. Assembling at the time of this proposal submission a shared commitment of 47 health actors, the underlying idea of this project is to develop the basis for a workable, interoperable, secure and cross border Electronic Health Record exchange Format in order to lay the foundation for the advance of eHealth sector while using the 3 pillars put forward by the EC as reference.

From Generic Aspects to System Architecture and Integration, passing by Functional and Technical Specifications, X-eHealth objective is to move towards a uniform interoperable data-sharing format framework. In addition, to enhance EU’s public health state of play, WP1 and WP8 are responsible for implementation studies, practicality and continuity of eHealth interoperability development.
On this basis and building upon the already in place Patient Summary, X-eHealth purpose is to develop the foundations for a common framework for medical imaging, discharge letters, laboratory results and rare diseases to flow both alongside citizens care pathway and across health entities between EU Member States and Neighbour Countries.
Focus on cross-border services, this consortium aims to advance an interoperable Common European Health Data Space for citizens and health providers engagement in accordance with privacy and cybersecurity regulations.
To achieve this end, X-eHealth gathers 36 consortium partners plus 5 collaborative partners and 6 eHealth skilled experts, eager to develop the abovementioned 4 domains, and distinguished by policy and political actors mixed with national competent authorities to indeed concretely plan, implement and maintain national eHealth infrastructures.
