The EU plans to invest 5.7 billion to start the health data space plan, what enlightenment will it bring to my country's digital medical construction?

The pandemic has made health data key to developing public health measures and responding to cris.

A historic step in EU digital health The EU official website shows that the effective use and sharing of health data can benefit both individuals and groups: on the one hand, reasonable sharing of health data allows people to easily access, share and retain greater control over data On the other hand, researchers, enterprises or institutions can also obtain more complete data in a legal and safe context, which can then be used in medical research, innovation and decision-maki.

For the effective use of health data, the European Commission conducted an open public consultation on EHDS from 3 May to 26 July 2021 and collected a wide range of commen.

EHDS is one of the core components of the European Health Uni.

Shang Xixue, deputy director of the Institute of Cyber ​​Law, China University of Political Science and Law, told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter that this proposal supports individuals to control their own health data, supports the development and use of health data to better provide medical services, and conduct better research and innovati.

Official documents show that EHDS plans to re-use medical data in the context of legal compliance, a move that will help advance European anti-cancer plans and develop practical solutions for the treatment of cancer patien.

In addition, EHDS will strongly support the launch of HERA, the European health emergency preparedness and response agen.

As planned, the EHDS will create a new European Commission on Health Data Spaces, comprising representatives of digital health authorities and a new European Commission on Health Data Spac.

The European Commission mentioned that both Member States and the Commission will support EHDS under different EU funds and instrumen.

EU Commissioner for Health and Food Safety Stella Kyriakides believes that EHDS has fundamentally changed the digital transformation of EU healthca.

Break down data barriers

The epidemic has made the world see the value of medical data, and breaking data barriers has become a crucial step in medical data shari.

In the EU, two-thirds of EU member states already provide patients with medical summaries and electronic prescriptions, but only a few countries can send or receive patient records across borders, and 11 countries still print paper prescriptio.

To break down data barriers, EHDS requires EU member states to publish and accept patient summaries, electronic prescriptions, images and image reports, laboratory results, and discharge reports in a harmonized European common form.

Additionally, EHDS makes interoperability mandato.

To safeguard data security, EHDS will introduce security standards for the interoperability and security of electronic health record systems and require researchers, companies or public bodies to only access data that is not identifiable after processi.

The sharing, openness and privacy and security of medical data are a set of intractable contradictio.

Chen Fangqiang, a lawyer at Zhong Lun Law Firm, said that this balance is not a compromise between data sharing and rights protection, but should be the efficient use of data and the enhancement of personal well-being under the premise of ensuring securi.

Shang Xixue pointed out that the goal of GDPR legislation is how to protect personal information and provide comprehensive protection support for personal informati.

EHDS is combined with the medical research program currently being implemented by the European Union, aiming at the development, use and sharing of data in this special field of the medical indust.

"The European Million Genomes Project, released in August 2019, has always been subject to legal obstacles to citizens' priva.

In view of this, the legislative goal of EHDS is more to enhance the security and feasibility of medical data development and shari.

"

At this stage, the implementation and implementation of EHDS will still face many obstacl.

Wu Shenkuo believes that EHDS technically realizes a standard and unified health data format, breaks legal barriers to data localization in various countries, and manages cross-border transfers in data sharing, all of which will bring resistance to EH.

What can we learn from our country?

At present, many countries in the world have begun to build relatively mature health and medical big data service platforms, and have launched fierce competition in effective management and technological upgradi.

In the United States, 12 regional electronic medical record data centers, 9 medical knowledge centers, and 8 medical imaging and biological information data centers have been built covering the count.

The data content includes clinical service quality information, national health service provider directory, latest medical and scientific knowledge databases, consumer product data, community health performance information, government spending data,e.

In the UK, the government has invested 5 billion pounds to build a national integrated medical care information storage service system, collecting and storing data from more than 23,000 medical information systems, covering more than 50 million residents' medical information, and has provided 3 million medical sta.

servi.

A digital health decade: from ambition to action, a research report published last November by DigitalEurope, the European trade association for the digital transformation industry, shows that Europe is building a trusted and collaborative health data space , The four pillars required for successful health data sharing and utilization include: demonstrating how health data can be used; enabling the use of secure and interoperable infrastructure; leveraging existing health data sharing efforts for research and development of prevention, diagnosis and treatme.

New approach; rollout of patient-centred electronic health (e-health) services in member states and across the .

"In view of this, China's medical data development and sharing should also start from the perspectives of publicity, facility construction, data sharing, and people's digital literacy to build a trusted space for medical data sharing in an all-round w.

" Shang Xixue said that the medical big data industry It is the earliest market-oriented industry of data elements deployed and promoted by the count.

At present, with the support of national policies and resources, China's medical data application industry is developing rapid.

For example, doctors can quickly learn the sensitivity of patients to drugs by examining the patient's genomic informati.

, so as to achieve personalized precision treatme.

EHDS has certain reference significance for us to open and share health and medical da.

Chen Fangqiang believes that the contents that can be referred to include: data subjects' supplement and correction mechanism for health data, and the safety and interactivity of equipment and systems of suppliers in related industri.

reque.

"China can also refer to setting up corresponding health data storage institutions and setting access rights and permissio.

" Chen Fangqiang also added that for non-personal information and non-important data of health and medical data, you can refer to how the EU conducts hierarchical management or proposes two Secondary utilization facilitation measur.

At present, China is still actively exploring the sharing of medical da.

In December 2020, the National Health and Medical Commission issued the "Notice on Further Promoting "Internet + Medical Health" and "Five Ones" Service Actions", requiring hospitals above the second level to accelerate the realization of in-hospital medical service information sharing and business collaboration, relying on Physical medical institutions realize data sharing and business collaborati.

In February of this year, the National Health and Medical Commission responded to a proposal and a recommendation from last ye.

Among them, it is mentioned that an open and sharing mechanism for health and medical big data is being actively established, a resource catalog system and a data sharing and exchange system are built in a coordinated manner, and the service and management of the whole life cycle of health and medical big data are strengthen.
