The European Health Data Space (EHDS) is transforming how healthcare professionals access and use health data across Europe. It provides a clear framework to support daily clinical practice with more reliable, accessible, and interoperable information.

By enabling secure data sharing between systems and organisations, EHDS helps the healthcare workforce make better-informed decisions, improve coordination, and deliver safer, more efficient care.

EHRxF in a nutshell (Workforce)

The EHRxF framework enables healthcare professionals to securely access and share patient data across systems and organisations, ensuring they have the right information at the point of care.

It supports better coordination and continuity of care by improving interoperability, helping the healthcare workforce deliver safer, more efficient, and high-quality services across Europe.

Introducing the EEHRxF Format

The video explains how the European Health Data Space (EHDS) helps healthcare professionals access and share patient data more easily across systems and countries.

It shows how better data availability supports clinical decision-making, improves coordination between professionals, and enables safer, more efficient care delivery across Europe.

xShare Persona - Long COVID GP

Over 20 years, Dr. Lambert has witnessed the rise of long COVID. Initially
uncertain, he adapted by listening actively, accepting uncertainty, and valuing
patient knowledge.
At times, he realised he struggled to recognize long COVID or provide adequate
support, due to the wide variety of symptoms and the time lapse between the
initial infection and the appearance of persistent complaints. For years, he felt
unsupported in this task.
Thanks to the EEHRxF, he is now very happy that patient discovery by relevant
authorities — always within the consent of patients — can happen more easily.
Patients are empowered to actively send their data for secondary use, while both
patients and GPs feel part of an ecosystem where they grow together rather than
feel left alone and behind.
