TriNetX's Support for European Health Organizations in EHDS Preparation

In a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, European healthcare organizations (HCOs) find themselves at a pivotal moment. With the framework for the secondary use of data within the European Health Data Space (EHDS) becoming clearer, institutions that lack interoperable and well-governed research data infrastructure are at risk of falling behind.

In response to these challenges, TriNetX, a leading global federated network of real-world data, unveiled a new initiative aimed at assisting European HCOs in transforming and harmonizing their clinical data into the Common Data Model (CDM) of the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP), Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), and other interoperable standards aligned with the EHDS requirements. By participating in the TriNetX LIVE™ network, healthcare organizations can also elect to make their data available for research, employing advanced data-sharing techniques that ensure local control and governance.

Steve Lethbridge, Senior Vice President of Global Healthcare Alliances at TriNetX, emphasizes the crucial planning period that European health organizations are entering for research data readiness. He stated, "TriNetX's experience is reflected in a harmonized global network representing over 300 million patients, with data mapped to internationally recognized terminology standards supporting OMOP CDM and FHIR. This foundation can aid institutions in improving data quality, optimizing research readiness, and positioning themselves for new opportunities through the EHDS."

Furthermore, Jeffrey S. Brown, MD and Chief Scientific Officer of TriNetX, pointed out that achieving compliance goes beyond regulatory necessities. A research environment compatible with OMOP can facilitate the transformation of fragmented clinical data into valuable, well-managed assets. This shift not only broadens access to research collaborations but also attracts new funding opportunities and increases recruitment in clinical trials and other research programs, all while maintaining robust security and governance frameworks that ensure physical and operational control over patient and institutional data.
