Understand what EHDS is all about, and take the first steps toward secure, compliant health data management.
The European Health Data Space (EHDS) is the first common European Union (EU) data space for the European Health Union, an exciting new initiative that aims to advance digital health for all Member States. EHDS regulation was initially approved in the spring of 2024 by the European Parliament and will come in effect early 2025. Designed to protect and streamline health data, EHDS readiness is a mandatory requirement for all healthcare institutions within the EU.
Enhancing patient care with seamless health data access.
The European Health Data Space (EHDS) enables healthcare providers fast and fair data access to and sharing of vital patient electronic personal health data across borders, leading to better-informed decisions and more coordinated care.
This seamless interoperability means that patients receive timely, personalized treatments, regardless of where they are in Europe.
By standardizing electronic health records and ensuring data accessibility, EHDS supports a future of healthcare where practitioners have a complete view of a patient’s medical history, reducing treatment delays, improving accuracy, and enabling continuity of care.
EHDS standardizes data access across European healthcare systems, enabling seamless, secure data sharing that improves collaboration and care quality.
With real-time access to electronic personal health data, EHDS allows healthcare providers to deliver faster, more informed care across borders.
Expanding research and public health capabilities.
EHDS is revolutionizing healthcare research by making anonymized health data available for research and innovation. By accessing high-quality data from diverse sources, researchers can study trends, develop targeted treatments, and innovate more efficiently.
This data sharing also supports policy makers and public health leaders by providing a holistic understanding of population health trends, enabling early identification of disease patterns and resource needs. With EHDS, Europe is building a unified trustworthy data environment that fuels innovation while respecting data privacy and security.
Through secure, anonymized data access, EHDS supports research and public health studies, unlocking insights for disease prevention and new treatments
Leveraging AI to analyze large volumes of data enables healthcare institutions to better identify patterns and predict outcomes, enhancing patient care and advancing medical research.
Follow along
Ensure your institution is prepared for EHDS with clear compliance guidelines and a timeline of essential milestones. From meeting regulatory standards to optimizing data interoperability, EHDS readiness is crucial for a smooth transition and sustained data security.
The European Health Data Space (EHDS), establishing the foundation for a unified health data framework across Europe, has been approved 2024 and will come in force early 2025. With the aim of enabling secure, interoperable data exchange, EHDS sets in motion a new era in healthcare collaboration and data-driven insights for both clinical and research purposes
All healthcare institutions within the EU are expected to complete the transition phase for EHDS by the end of 2028, achieving foundational compliance for secure and interoperable health data exchange. This milestone marks the point at which institutions should have updated their systems to meet EHDS standards, ensuring data compatibility and readiness for further phases
In 2028, healthcare institutions must achieve full EHDS compliance for primary data use, enabling seamless access to electronic health records (EHRs) across the EU to support real-time patient care.
Healthcare institutions must meet EHDS standards for secondary data use during 2028, enabling secure, anonymized data sharing for research and public health initiatives.
Healthcare institutions must achieve readiness to share genomics, -omics and some additional data types.
Data access can be granted for researchers outside EU at the end of 2034.
