What it is
This multi-stakeholder community focuses on understanding which good practices are used in each country that are related with citizens’ secure access to and sharing of health data, and thus facilitate the adoption of a European electronic health record exchange format.
More specifically, the activities performed by the community have involved:
- Establishing a functional collaboration platform on key aspects of the first DTHC priority;
- Bringing together European, national, and regional initiatives, relevant projects and experts to widen citizens’ access to data relevant to their health and increase their awareness about data sharing through empowerment tools and person-centred solutions.
Outputs
