The Xt-EHR joint action supports the Commission’s policy priority for “A Europe fit for the digital age” by implementing the EU4Health Programme’s general objective of “strengthening health systems”. This project will enhance the cooperation among Member States (MS) regarding the interoperability and exchange of healthcare data, contribute to the preparation of the foundations for the improved primary use of electronic health data, the upcoming new regulation for the European Health Data Space (EHDS), and empower individuals to control their health data. More specifically, the Xt-EHR proposal will prepare implementation guides, technical specifications, and a conformity assessment framework for the adoption of the European Electronic Health Record Exchange Format (EEHRxF), at a European Level. The activities under this joint action will effectively perform common actions across MS as above-mentioned for: The adoption of the EEHRxF common requirements and specifications on interoperability and health information exchange for patient summary, electronic prescriptions, and electronic dispensations, as well as for medical images, laboratory results and discharge letters into HER solution in the European digital single market. Evaluate telemedicine, mobile health, and other health software in the context of the EEHRxF and the EHDS Regulation proposal. Evaluate common EHR requirements for electronic identification for health professionals and patients (based on the European Digital Identity framework), and the necessary metadata layer needed. Evaluate the sustainability of cross-border telemedicine services, including telemonitoring. Prepare a guideline and interoperability requirements for mobile wellness applications and provide a respective conformity assessment and or labelling scheme. Provide a conformity assessment scheme for the certification of EHRs in Europe under the EHDS regulation. Through Xt-EHR, the interoperability and cross-border exchange of different types of health data will be promoted by proposing the necessary implementation guidelines for the implementation of new services that will complement the MyHealth@EU initiative. The necessary integration profiles of EHRs in the European market will be defined for improving the coordination of MS joint efforts towards interoperability in the EHDS proposal for primary use of health data.
