Healthcare & Data Recipient

Ensuring Data Flows Where It Matters

What it is:

Under EU data-sharing frameworks such as the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and the Data Governance Act (DGA), healthcare providers, suppliers, and regulators are expected to exchange standardized, trustworthy device data.

Who is affected:

• Hospitals, clinics, and health systems that manage device inventories and maintenance.
• Distributors and service providers that supply or maintain devices.
• Manufacturers that must provide accurate product and sustainability information to data recipients.

What it requires:

Interoperability with standardized data models such as GDSN, ensuring that product data (UDI, material composition, environmental footprint) can flow securely through healthcare systems.

On osapeers, members explore:

• Building reliable data connections between suppliers and hospitals.
• Implementing ESG-relevant product data models.
• Integrating healthcare data exchange with sustainability reporting.
