WP4 had the privilege of presenting its work at MIE 2026 in Genoa, Italy, through the paper “Using the European Electronic Health Record Exchange Format (EEHRxF) from Primary Systems to Public Health Dashboards”. The presentation showcased three pilot implementations led by Charité, Fondazione Monasterio, and Sciensano, demonstrating how the EEHRxF can support the transformation of routinely collected healthcare data into interoperable public health dashboards. The pilots highlighted the potential of standardized health data exchange to strengthen surveillance, support timely decision-making, and advance the objectives of the European Health Data Space (EHDS).
WP4 also organized the panel “Interoperability in Action: EHDS, xShare and the Future of Public Health Dashboards,” bringing together experts from across the health data ecosystem to explore the technical and operational building blocks needed to turn the EHDS vision into reality. Opening the session, Catherine Chronaki, Secretary General of the HL7 Foundation and XShare Coordinator, outlined the project’s ambition to connect patient care, public health, and research through interoperable data infrastructures. She highlighted XShare’s efforts to build sustainable governance mechanisms, foster stakeholder engagement, and support data-driven decision-making through public health dashboards.
Eugenia Rinaldi from Charite´University Hospital presented the public health work package, emphasizing the role of standards such as HL7 FHIR, SNOMED CT, and LOINC in breaking down data silos and enabling the secondary use of health data for research and population health. Giovanni Greco (DataWizard) demonstrated the project’s data transformation pipeline, showing how heterogeneous healthcare datasets can be mapped into standardized FHIR resources. Giorgio Pedrazzi (CINECA) followed with an overview of how these datasets are transformed into the OMOP common data model to support analytics, dashboard development, and AI applications.
The practical value of this interoperable ecosystem was illustrated through real-world use cases. Eduardo Salgado, anaesthesiologist at Charité University Hospital, presented how standardized health data can be leveraged to develop dashboards that support clinical and public health decision-making.
The panel also featured the announcement of the winners of the XShare Work Package 4 Open Call: Skezi (France), TU Dortmund University (Germany), and Istituto Giannina Gaslini (Italy).
One of the winning organizations, Istituto Giannina Gaslini, was represented by endocrinologist Monica Muraca, who presented the team’s proposed work on the Survivorship Passport, a digital tool designed to support the long-term follow-up of childhood cancer survivors. She explained how participation in XShare could help unlock the full potential of the rich data collected through the Passport by enabling its integration into an EEHRxF-compliant dashboard. This would support broader data reuse for research, personalized care, and population health initiatives, while demonstrating the value of interoperable health data for improving long-term patient outcomes.
Together, the presentations demonstrated how interoperable health data can be transformed into actionable knowledge, supporting innovation across healthcare systems in Europe. By combining common standards, scalable data pipelines, advanced analytics, and real-world clinical applications, XShare is helping lay the foundations for a European health data ecosystem that supports better care, stronger research, and more informed public health policies.
