The European cross-border health data exchange: Focus on clinically relevant data

Abstract

The eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure (eHDSI) is an infrastructure ensuring the continuity of care for European citizens while they are travelling abroad in the EU. We present the Finnish readiness of implementing datasets of diagnosis, vaccinations and medication summary in a case study, and discuss challenges emerging from the national perspective. International harmonized standards are a key element in the smooth development of European information exchange. © 2021 European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI) and IOS Press.
