Challenges in Implementing the EU Health Data Space in Germany (heise.de)

• Alignment of Germany’s ePA with European EHDS protocols.
• Unresolved governance and emergency access complexities.
• Strategic integration of EUDI-Wallets into healthcare systems.

"Germany faces significant technical and regulatory hurdles in integrating the European Health Data Space (EHDS), the electronic patient record (ePA), and the EUDI-Wallet. While these initiatives aim to unify health data for research and improved care across the EU, critical issues regarding cross-border governance and emergency access remain unresolved. Ensuring interoperability between Germany's existing digital health infrastructure and emerging European standards is essential for maintaining digital autonomy in the sensitive health sector."
