With the European Health Data Space (EHDS) Regulation now in force, we’re looking at how openEHR-based systems in Slovenia will need to align with the EHDS data structures for cross-border exchange and primary use.
As a starting point for discussion, here is a a discharge summary template we developed as part of a project for the Slovenian national platform (eKarton):
I wanted to ask whether anyone in the community has already started work on EHDS-compliant reference templates, specifically on EHDS Patient Summary, ePrescription and eDispensation? CKM already has the International Patient Summary (IPS) template. However, the Patient Summary set out for EHDS isn’t fully equivalent to IPS. There are differences in scope and in some data elements, so the IPS template can’t simply be reused as-is.
Any pointers, existing work or thoughts on governance would be very welcome.
Since then, there have been a number of separate initiatives to cover sections that weren’t in that initial set, including some of my own (for PoC/hackaton purposes, so not even close to being clinically-validated). As far as I know, though, none of them have made it into CKM or anywhere else where they could be properly reviewed.
Hi Ana, and thank you Gasper for mentioning the EHDS-openEHR mapping project that was commissioned by @wouterzanen and his team at Nictiz. All the templates and mapping files we developed are in the GitHub repository, and the full project report is available here: Notion
There has been some talk about establishing a CPB working group for EHDS, but as far as I know it hasn’t been set up yet. @vanessap might know more about the plans
