Health Professionals (Workforce)
The European Health Data Space (EHDS) supports healthcare professionals by enabling access to structured and interoperable patient summaries that can be shared across systems and borders. This provides a reliable foundation for informed clinical decision-making and continuity of care.
By enhancing and extending these datasets, EHDS also enables more advanced use cases, such as clinical research and AI-supported decision tools, helping professionals deliver more precise, efficient, and data-driven care.
