Description

xSHARE (Expanding the European EHRxF to share and effectively use health data within the European Health Data Space)

will enable citizens to access their health data in EEHRxF format and download them through the xShare button, located on health portals and patient apps. This ensures people’s right to exercise data portability, as stipulated in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

xShare will also be a driver of research and innovation within the framework of the European Health Data Space (EHDS).

Co-funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HADEA). Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible for them.

Within the framework of this project, the following will be developed:

1. Harmonized and common requirements and specifications, including FHIR implementation guides, tools, datasets, and educational support for key domains of the EEEHRxF.
2. A set of common elements within the health information domains of the EEEHRxF applicable to the EHDS for the population and clinical research.
3. A harmonized extension of IPS specifications to include health plans that can be used in research.
4. Adoption of the xShare button in 8 European regions, including Catalonia, with a focus on data portability, EEEHRxF in public health and cross-border threats, and data access for research purposes.

The TIC Salut Social Foundation strategically participates on behalf of the Catalonia Health System and the Spanish Ministry of Health in all project activities.
