[Hippo Health Account](https://hippocraites.fi/news/health-account-saves-doctors-up-to-10-minutes-in-patient-consultations?hsLang=en) is based on the same principles, offering better access to patient data and supporting healthcare professionals' work through data availability. ![Mikä on EHDS_FB](https://hippocraites.fi/hs-fs/hubfs/Mik%C3%A4%20on%20EHDS_FB.png?width=1200&height=630&name=Mik%C3%A4%20on%20EHDS_FB.png) In the spring of 2024, the European Parliament and the Council agreed on the European Health Data Space (EHDS) proposed by the European Commission, aiming to give citizens better control over their health data and facilitate the exchange of health data for providing care across the EU. Additionally, EHDS aims to create a truly functioning internal market for digital patient record systems and build a unified, reliable, and efficient system for utilizing health data in research, innovation, decision-making, and regulation. Hippo Health Account supports EHDS goals Hippo Health Account promotes the achievement of EHDS goals by offering significant benefits to doctors in the secure and compatible transfer of health data and patient data management in the following ways: - Seamless data transfer across borders: Thanks to EHDS, patients' health data is available across borders, giving doctors access to important patient information for diagnoses and treatment plans, regardless of whether the patient is at home or abroad. - Greater control for doctors and patients: Hippo Health Account allows patients full control over sharing their data. For doctors, this means access to all necessary information to provide personalized care without compromising data security. At the same time, doctors benefit from a comprehensive and up-to-date view of the patient's health status. - Compatibility between EU health systems: The integration capabilities of Hippo Health Account ensure that patient data can move smoothly between different systems and healthcare providers, promoting consistency and continuity of care. A single, easily accessible view of all patient data reduces appointment time and administrative burden for doctors and improves the quality of care. This makes Hippo Health Account a valuable tool for doctors across the EU, helping them meet the evolving data protection and efficiency requirements in line with EHDS.
