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

Programs

The Programs section defines where OpenEHDS concentrates delivery effort for EHDS secondary use.

Permit-aware dataset assembly

This track covers software that prepares temporary, permit-compliant datasets for approved secondary-use purposes.

  • data permit interpretation and machine-readable constraints
  • dataset assembly pipelines scoped by permit and legal basis
  • lifecycle controls for temporary data products

Policy and compliance enforcement

This track covers modules that enforce purpose limitation and legal constraints during access and processing.

  • opt-out and exception handling
  • rule enforcement for access boundaries
  • auditable decision logs for policy application

Secure processing and traceability

This track covers integration patterns for secure processing environments and full accountability.

  • connectors between data holders, access bodies, and secure environments
  • audit, logging, and lineage components
  • controlled deletion and TTL mechanisms

Interoperability and national adaptation

This track covers reusable mappings and transformation patterns aligned with EHDS and FHIR.

  • interoperability profiles and transformation logic
  • implementation patterns adaptable to national deployment models
  • reference architecture artifacts for public procurement use

Program boundary

OpenEHDS develops enabling components and reference architectures. It does not operate as a health data access body, data host, or secure processing operator.
