EHDS will facilitate the use of health data in a European perspective. EU citizens will have their electronic health record data availible for primary use and research and medtech will have increased possibilities to work with the health data for secondary use. The EHDS regulation has been decided and we are now entering the implementation of the new regulation. This presentation will walk you through experiences, questions and important topics from a healthcare provider perspective.

We have some singular AI initiatives at Karolinska already, but personally I am focused on how to strategize to prepare and manage data to make it available for efficient development of AI as an integrated way of analyzing our clinical data and make use of it. 

Some important things in this work are:

1. working close to the healthcare professionals to achieve single documentation (once-only principle),

2. using of information standards like openEHR, SNOMED CT, FHIR etc,

3. working “information centric” with one "original" information that is continuously updated instead of locking the data in the applications,

4. organizing the data legally into platform compartments with defined regulations in each compartment, and

5. letting the data holder own the data as long as possible and build analytical tools for federative analysis locally, and not share results in the form of personal data, but instead more like statistics which will not be personal data.
