🚀 **Publication Announcement** 🚀 We are delighted to announce the publication of an important Task Force report in *Value in Health* titled "Assessing Real-World Data From Electronic Health Records for Health Technology Assessment: The SUITABILITY Checklist: A Good Practices Report of an ISPOR Task Force." Key Highlights from the Report: 1. Framework for EHR Data Assessment: The report introduces a comprehensive framework for evaluating the suitability of electronic health record (EHR) data in health technology assessments (HTAs). This includes a two-component approach: data delineation and data fitness for purpose. 2. ISPOR SUITABILITY Checklist: A practical tool to guide analysts in assessing EHR data for HTAs. The checklist covers critical aspects such as data characteristics, provenance, governance, reliability, and relevance. 3. Challenges and Recommendations: The report addresses the inherent challenges of using EHR data, including data completeness, accuracy, and the transformation of unstructured information. It provides actionable recommendations for HTA agencies and policymakers to improve the quality and usability of EHR-derived data. 4. Future Directions: Discusses the potential impact of advanced technologies like large language models and generative artificial intelligence on the field of HTA, highlighting the need for continued innovation and adaptation. Co-Chairs: Rachael Fleurence, Ph.D., MSc and Scott Ramsey, MD, PhD Contributing Authors: This report is a collaborative effort by leading experts in the field, including Seamus Kent, PhD, Blythe Adamson, PhD, MPH, James Tcheng, MD, Ran Balicer, MD, PhD, MPH, Joseph Ross, MD, MHS, Kevin Haynes, PharmD, MSCE, Patrick Muller, PhD, Jon Campbell, MS, PhD, Elsa Bouée-Benhamiche, PharmD, RPh, and Sebastian Garcia Marti, MD, MSc. We extend our gratitude to the authors for their significant contributions and dedication. Their work is pivotal in advancing the methodology and practice of HTA using real-world data. We thank ISPOR—The Professional Society for Health Economics and Outcomes Research and especially Elizabeth Molsen-David for their support throughout the process.

The European Parliament has just adopted the European Health Data Space (EHDS) regulation, marking a historical moment for digital health in the EU. This monumental step will have a profound impact on the rights of natural persons to their electronic health data and on the possibilities for the reuse of such data. The EHDS will empower individuals to access their electronic health data through patient portals or apps. This is aligned with the goals of the Digital Decade policy programme 2030: 100 % citizens having access to their electronic health records. Furthermore, the regulation will ensure that electronic health data follows patients when they seek care from different healthcare providers within their own Member State or across the EU. Through the European electronic health record exchange format, the regulation will promote further harmonisation of structures in data exchanged by electronic health record systems. In addition to structured data, the format should also support the exchange of unstructured clinical documents, to ensure the implementation of the rights of natural persons. The electronic health record systems will be certified to guarantee their compliance with interoperability and logging requirements. To ensure secure access to electronic health data for secondary use purposes, the regulation will establish a network of health data access bodies in each Member State. This will accelerate research and innovation in the EU, contributing to the development of new treatments and advanced health solutions. Two key infrastructures, MyHealth@EU and HealthData@EU, will be established to support the implementation of the EHDS. While the creation of these infrastructures is a significant undertaking, progress is well underway. The main components of MyHealth@EU are already operational, and pilots are ongoing in HealthData@EU. The European Health Data Space regulation signifies a major leap forward, enabling seamless flow of health data for the benefit of all of us.
