X-eHealth intends to contribute to the Digital Single Market Strategy of the European Commission.
The Digital Single Market in Health in Europe is based on three pillars:
Citizens’ secure access to their health data, also across borders
Personalised medicine through shared European
data infrastructure
Citizen empowerment with digital tools
for user feedback and person-centred care
The Digital Single Market strategy seeks to ensure better access for consumers and business to online goods and services across Europe, for example by removing barriers to cross-border e-commerce and access to online content while increasing consumer protection.

From 2022 exchange of:
Original Clinical Documents
From 2024 exchange of:Laboratory reportsMedical images and reportsHospital discharge lettersin healthcare professional language
As in Recommendation on an Electronic Health Record exchange format
in cooperation with DG CNECT
From 2022, MS will pilot PATIENTS DIRECT ACCESS TO THEIR
TRANSLATED DATA through MyHealth@EU
Citizens residing in another Member State
• Additionally to translated Patient Summary, doctors will have an access to lab result and medical images – in universal medical language, which offers a lot of important information;
• This will allow to avoid the cost of unnecessary repeating expensive tests;
• Multilingual doctors will be able to access from abroad the health data of your citizens (recorded in your country);
• Many diaspora patients are likely to go to doctor speaking the same

PROJECT SCOPE
Morning Session: Laboratory Result Report EHRxF LRR
Jürgen Brandstätter, Hynek KružíkOctober 7, 2021, 10:20-10:35
Clinical / Business Need
• Laboratory is an essential domain for diagnostics and clinical decision making
• Main cross boarder laboratory use cases:• Laboratory test order
• Lab test order could be sent to laboratory in another country (e.g., to referential laboratory)
• Sharing laboratory test result report• Lab results could be delivered to ordering party from another country• Lab results from country A could be delivered to a point of care in country B on request
Sharing of lab test results is essential for continuity
of care in X-border situations
To assure flawless interpretation, laboratory results should be recorded in a universal manner by means of standard coding systems and data models for test methods, specimens, and results.
Clinical / Business Need
• Lab functional specifications (T5.3)• Include all interoperability layers according to the ReEIF
• LRR Information Model
• Innovations:• Harmonization of Terminologies
(e.g., Study Types, …)• Concept for Search & Filter
(Metadata)• Cooperation and co-creation
with Standards DevelopmentOrganizations

Clinical / Business Need
• MyHealth@EU story – clinical need for standardized hospital discharge report across borders in Europe (EHRxF HDR)
• Mr Horvat, a resident of Dubrovnik, Croatia is admitted to a hospital in Athens, Greece, with Myocardial Infraction. Following discharge from the hospital he has two options: • CASE 1 (Pull): Mr Horvat returns home to Dubrovnik, Croatia. He notifies verbally his GP, who
retrieves the EHRxF HDR from Greece.• CASE 2 (Push): Mr Horvat requests that his EHRxF HDR be available to his GP home in
Dubrovnik, Croatia, at the time of discharge and the system notifies his GP.
• A Croatian Story – clinical need for standardized hospital discharge report within a country (EHRxF HDR)
• Mr Horvat, a resident of Dubrovnik, Croatia is transferred to a rehabilitation center in Zagreb and his discharge letter is made available in the EHRxF format

Marcello Melgara – ARIA
Use case unplanned care• French 15 year-old boy presenting to an Italian emergency
department with respiratory distress after banal bronchitis lasting
for a couple of days. In addition, he complains of disabling
abdominal pain. He reports having been diagnosed with Steinert
disease.
• Worst scenario:
• Doctor does not know much about Steinert disease, but wants to
rule out a surgical abdomen. Patient suffers respiratory arrest when
lying down for examination. Intubation is diffcult and a tracheotomy
should be performed
• Better scenario:
• Doctor does not know much about Steinert disease, but consults
ePatient Summary for information. He can access emergency
guidelines and avoid further complications. He can also call the
patient’s doctor at the expert centre

Communities of practice “are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly”.
(Introduction to communities of practice - A brief overview of the concept and its uses, Etienne and Beverly Wenger-Trayner)
Structural characteristics of a CoP:• Domain of knowledge: WHAT WE CARE ABOUT
• Practice: WHAT WE DO TOGETHER ABOUT IT
• Community: WHO CARES ABOUT IT

EEHRxF Communities of Practice: from Proof of Concept to large scale adoption and Infrastructure for Innovation• EEHRxF in rare diseases proof of concept Case Study
This task uses the EEHRxF domains to construct the patient case of a rare disease and interface rare disease registries. The project would seek to collaborate with a rare disease network for this proof of concept concentrating on meaningful data.
• EEHRxF in chronic diseases management and prevention proof of concept case studyThis task will provide at least one proof of concept EEHRxF demonstrator for chronic disease patients or patients suffering from comorbidity (e.g. in cancer, diabetes, chronic pain, hypertension, cardiovascular/stroke, or other chronic conditions).
• EEHRxF to decision aids and citizen driven health-science: Exploratory Proof of concept studyThis exploratory task links EEHRxF to parallel initiatives that are in the process of assessing and integrating new concepts and tools such as for example AI, outcomes-based research, clinical research, clinical trial integration, business analytics, decision aids for patients, and citizen-driven health-science, etc.
• Taking a patient-centric approach, this work will contribute towards addressing local, national, cross-border/international aspects along with professional collaboration with patients, multilingualism, differences in terminology, and other well-known organizational barriers.

About medical technologyMedical technology is any technology used to save and improve lives of individuals suffering from a wide range of conditions.
There are more than 500,000 products, services and solutions currently available
74
The MedTech Industry in Europe
€ 140billionmarket
33,000+Companies of which 95% are SMEs
760,000+employees
#1In filing patent applications 9% more than computer technology industries and 66% more than the pharmaceutical industry

The industry’s views on interoperability
• The digital transformation of healthcare requires better data exchange and overcoming barriers, including lack of interoperability.
• We see increasingly national and regional healthcare systems requiring developers of medical technology solutions to deliver data along certain specifications.
• There is a risk of fragmentation. We welcome European coordination.
à The medtech industry welcomes and supports the European EHR Exchange Format and the X-eHealth mission to build a EHRxF community.
à We would welcome further development of the EHRxF to cover specifications for data from medical/IVD devices and services.

COCIR views• Interoperability is an enabler• Interoperability is possible
X-eHealth is essential• Cross-border and intra-border exchange are interlinked• Building a community is key
Road to implementation• More governance is needed• Keep the dialogue going

Shaping the Healthcare Sector Interoperability Policy
Sara RodaSenior Policy Adviser
Standing Committee of European Doctors
Introducing CPME
• CPME represents national medical associations across Europe,covering 1.6 million European Doctors.• CPME promotes highest level of medical training & practice; provision
of evidence-based, ethical and equitable healthcare services.• 5 priority areas: professional practice & patients’ rights,
pharmaceuticals & healthcare products, public health & diseaseprevention, eHealth.
Some major challenges• Lack of common technical specifications to exchange electronic health
records • Dependency of software industry – ‘last mile’; public procurement• Lack of trust for secure access and exchange of health data – protected
infrastructures needed (e.g. wearables, health apps, EHR, digital solutions)Caution:• Interoperability between healthcare sector and other sectors of the public
administration – risk of repurposing without patient’s consent
Fundamental principles• Security by design, privacy by design, medical confidentiality and ethical
principles – WMA Declarations of Helsinki and Taipei• Healthcare system, patients and healthcare professional needs to drive
forward the design of technical systems and interoperable processes• Interoperability YES, BUT not at all costs – do not reduce financial
resources for clinical care• Do not increase digital inequalities – prevent digital divide Recommendation: • Directive on minimum interoperability requirements

Towards citizen-centric data sharing
Marc Lange - EHTEL
EHTEL’s vision of EHDS priorities
“The ability for European citizens to access, and control access to, their electronic health records (EHR) across the EU should be greatly improved by 2030”
(2030 Digital Compass: the European way for the Digital Decade)
► More than giving consent to access own health dataThis would mean:
► Enabling citizens to become a data-sharing actorCitizen-Centric Data Sharing Approach
Citizen-Centric Data Sharing ApproachCitizens need to be equipped with easy-to-use and secure technological solutions to exchange their data with other healthcare providers or researchers in a controlled and secured way
Healthcare Organizations
Research Centres
Citizens
Healthcare Organizations
Technical specifications, interoperability profiles, secure infrastructure and public acceptability
EHDS1, EHDS2 and digital health services and products will all benefit from this approach
Public acceptability
Digital solutions need to be:► Totally under citizens’ control
► Part of a health data ecosystem developed along the line of Fair Data Economy principles sets by the IHAN® project
How can we action citizen-centric data sharing?► InteropEHRate has developed
protocols to allow citizens to access their own data from healthcare providers and share it with others.
► InteropEHRate has also developed solutions to facilitate data sharing for research purposes.
Have your say!
Further exploring all
this?

InteroperabilityThe Things in between
Cross-disciplinary collaboration and sharing of research data will be a requirement to accelerate new discoveries.
To improve care and reduce costs with this new science, we must focus on what drives 80% of of outcomes, the non-clinical factors which include social, economic and psychological determinants of health.
Health and healthcare will reach its full potential with new incentives and the democratization of health data
This new science will arrive at an evidence-based understanding of what works through a great wealth of shared longitudinal health data captured through mobile devices, sensors and health records. It must be mindful of the concept of transforming Data to Information, Knowledge and Wisdom.
Verifiable but de-identified, health data will become part of a unified view of healthcare for research and risk assessment ). Individuals will have the choice to contribute / donate.
Individuals have a right to health data privacy. Rights to sharing must be established with the individual it originates from, or their legal agent, in advance of sharing. GDPR
providers/patients
The most relevant providers/ patients will learn and will be conversant in data analytics and tools. They will be experts in care delivery/usage, not just diagnostics and traditional medical science.
“Patient engagement” is valuable, but backwards. Individuals need the health system to be engaged with them regularly, and not just during visits. ( Prevention)
Healthcare organizations that aggressively promote health literacy will build community capacity in addressing health issues. This may mean enabling and curating others in the community to reach all facets of the community.
Summary : The Future of Health-Stakeholder perspectiveCONNECTING HEALTH DATA ACROSS EUROPE

• Use case• process flow, process steps• exchange of information
• Logical specification• breakdown of the information into reusable
information building blocks• understandable by end users• stable basis for technical specification
• Technical specification• based on the logical model• future proof - new versions of standards can be
implemented from the logical model.
Selected domains
• Patient Summary / ePrescription is an excellent start, but it is not enough• X-eHealth focus:
• Laboratory - already many highly standardised implementations • Images - DICOM, Scheduled Workflow already fully implemented• Imaging reports - almost a green field, mostly flat text. Work is necessary• Hospital Discharge letters - reusable specialistic information elements• Rare diseases - addition to PS specifications
Standardisation approach: from generic to specific

Why do we need to test conformity for interoperability?
For Vendors: • It helps to reduce interoperability issues• It helps to improve Softwares quality• It ensures appropriate methods to have a correct integration between actors• It helps to reduce efforts when integrating systems by using common testing tools or conformity assessment schemes
For the health community:• Data quality and trust to the clinical data coming from other healthcare providers• Conform to the regulation• Usability of the solutions
Accelerate the adoption of the clinical reports over Europe
Validate to trust? Karima Bourquard
Validate to trust?
How to test and validate the medical reports?
Testing framework:• Testing process, test methods and test plan for
testing and assessing the implementation (vendor’ssoftware or NCPeH) of the clinical reports and services
Tool-stacks:• ART DECOR • FHIR tools• Gazelle testing tools as a common platform for all conformity assessments
Exchanging clinical report with trust
Conformity Assessment Scheme:• Provide a framework for testing interoperability
and assess the conformity of products or services to specifications
• It defines the processes, procedures and criteriafor success based on the testing framework
