Details
On March 27, 2026, HL7 Europe and IHE-Europe announced the opening of two new ballots for FHIR Implementation Guides (IGs) intended for the European Health Data Space (EHDS). These guides—for Imaging Study Report and EU Health Data API—were jointly developed by both organizations as part of their EURIDICE collaboration. These technical specifications define sets of EHR functionalities that meet the interoperability component requirements of the EHDS regulation ((EU) 2025/327). They demonstrate how existing IHE profiles and other specifications can enable secure exchange of electronic health data, showing real-world data exchange use cases for EHDS. The EURIDICE collaboration is a joint initiative focused on creating well-architected, implementable, and testable specifications to be referenced in the EHDS Implementing Acts. This effort combines HL7’s FHIR expertise with IHE methodology to align with EU-funded projects and national priorities. Commenting and voting are open until April 30, 2026.
