OpenEHDS programs focus on areas where secondary use requires the highest level of regulatory, technical, and operational precision.
1. Permit-aware dataset assembly
This track covers components that prepare temporary datasets aligned with approved permits and processing purposes.
- interpretation of data permits and machine-readable constraints
- dataset assembly pipelines constrained by permit scope and legal basis
- lifecycle controls for temporary data products
2. Policy and access-rule enforcement
This track covers components enforcing access and compliance rules across the processing lifecycle.
- opt-out and legal exception handling
- purpose limitation and access boundary enforcement
- auditable policy decision logs
3. Secure processing and accountability
This track covers integration patterns for secure processing environments and full auditability.
- connectors across data holders, access bodies, and secure environments
- audit, logging, and data lineage components
- TTL and controlled deletion mechanisms
4. Interoperability and national adaptation
This track covers reusable mappings and data transformations aligned with EHDS and FHIR.
- interoperability profiles and transformation logic
- implementation patterns adaptable to national deployment models
- reference artifacts suitable for public procurement use
Program boundary
OpenEHDS develops components and reference architectures. It does not act as a health data access body, does not host medical data, and does not operate secure processing environments.
