Health Systems (Policy Makers)
The European Health Data Space (EHDS) enables policymakers and health system leaders to better connect the primary and secondary use of health data, unlocking greater value for healthcare, research, and public health. This integrated approach supports more efficient use of data across the entire system.
By promoting interoperability, common standards, and the principle of collecting data once and using it multiple times, EHDS helps improve system performance, inform policy decisions, and drive better health outcomes at both national and European levels.
