Beyond EHR systems
Medical devices produce very important data to be included in an EHR system. These devices are referred to in the EHDS regulation and shall present common specifications, interoperability requirements and certification of the components to be compliant with the European EHRxF. Similarly, wellness apps can submit data to the EHR system. This enables vendors to develop functionalities which healthcare professionals can use to monitor their population – e.g., to identify who needs attention urgently, who should be called in for a consultation, who should be rewarded for doing really well. Rather than investing time and money in developing interfaces for several different devices and apps (getting and structuring the data), the focus can be set on providing real value added (using data) to their clients, i.e., professionals and provider organisations.
