The publication of the latest TEHDAS2 joint action guidelines and technical specifications marks an important milestone in preparing the European Health Data Space (#EHDS). Developed through extensive collaboration between experts across Europe, these outputs provide practical guidance for enabling the secure and trustworthy reuse of health data for research, innovation and policymaking. Sciensano is proud to have contributed to several of these key outputs supporting three essential pillars of the EHDS:: 🟩 Supporting health data discoverability and access ➡️ Guideline for data holders on data description (D5.1) ➡️ Technical specification on national metadata catalogues (D5.3) ➡️ Guideline on making health data available for reuse (D6.1) 🟩 Supporting secure and trustworthy data use ➡️ Technical specification on secure processing environments (D7.4) 🟩 Supporting citizens’ rights and trust ➡️ Guideline on implementing opt-out from health data reuse (D8.1) ➡️ Guideline on informing individuals about significant findings (D8.2) 🔗 Explore the published guidelines and technical specifications: https://lnkd.in/eZH8HAhG 📢 The third and final TEHDAS2 public consultation remains open until 28 June. Stakeholders are invited to provide feedback on seven additional draft guidelines supporting areas such as data linkage, data enrichment, international data access, citizen information, and collaboration frameworks.  Have your say! 👇 https://lnkd.in/dvPW2vvS 🙏 A sincere thank you to all TEHDAS2 partners, and to our colleagues Beatriz Barros, Nienke Schutte, Krisztina Fekete-Molnár, Wannes Van Hoof, Roxana Albu, PhD and Milana Trucl for their collaboration and commitment throughout this work.
