OpenEHDS Foundation is preparing its public launch. Explore the current workstreams, publications, and community entry points.

Community

The Community section is the public entry point for stakeholders who want to shape practical and trustworthy EHDS implementation.

Who participates

  • public institutions and regulators
  • patient organizations and civil society
  • researchers and domain experts
  • technology providers and implementers
  • open source maintainers and contributors

Collaboration model

OpenEHDS is designed as a neutral dialogue and co-creation space.

  • open discussions on implementation trade-offs
  • workshops around reference architecture patterns
  • transparent contribution processes and public documentation
  • cooperation that supports cross-border and cross-sector interoperability

Why this matters

Without shared and open components, EHDS implementation risks fragmentation, duplicated effort, and reduced trust. Community collaboration is critical to avoid rebuilding similar solutions in isolation.
