xShare Adoption Site – Madeira

Secretaria Regional de Saúde e Proteção Civil, is the Regional Health authority in Madeira, one of the adoption sites where the xShare Yellow button will be adopted using the European Electronic Health Record Exchange Format (EEHRxF), thus the Electronic Health Record (EHR) sharing will be consolidated in this region through the development of networks and ecosystems that will contribute to the robustness of the European Health Data Space (EHDS).

Madeira presents a population of approximately 250,000 inhabitants, supported by 3 public hospitals along with 47 health centres, providing community, primary and secondary care, emergency services, and inpatient mental health care. Each patient is assigned a unique EHR that consolidates all medical and socio-clinical information. To date, the Regional Health Service has recorded over 599,804 EHRs and more than 57.4 million clinical care episodes. 

Madeira’s aim in this project is to bring healthcare professionals and citizens closer, equipping health institutions with innovative, interoperable, and intelligent solutions that enhance the delivery of care.

By integrating the xShare Yellow button, patients will gain seamless access to their health information, while interoperability between healthcare providers is assured, fostering a single, secure, and standardized digital health market across Europe.
This approach promotes patient empowerment, active participation in healthcare management, and creates synergies for a truly integrated, high-quality, and sustainable healthcare system.
