European Health Data Space: Navigating the Paradigm Shift | Health Focus
180
The European Health Data Space (EHDS) marks a paradigm shift in how health data is used across Europe, with significant implications for Austria's healthcare system. In particular, the secondary use of health data for research, innovation, and public health is reshaping existing frameworks across healthcare, policy, society, and the economy. This transformation presents both opportunities and challenges as European Member States take their next steps toward coordinated and responsible implementation.
