About this webinar
This session is part of the XiA EU Lab Report Series and focuses on the practical implementation of structured laboratory reporting within hospitals, aligned with the European Health Data Space (EHDS).
Delivered as a concise 30-minute session, it explores how the EU Lab Report framework supports semantic interoperability using HL7 FHIR standards and structured data domains. It provides healthcare institutions with concrete guidance to transition from regulatory requirements to operational implementation.
Main focus areas
- The EU Lab Report framework: objectives and structure
- HL7 FHIR for structured laboratory data exchange
- EHDS interoperability requirements and regulatory alignment
- Priority health data domains and standardisation challenges
- Practical implementation considerations for hospitals
Why it matters
Implementing structured laboratory reports is a foundational step toward achieving secure, interoperable and reusable health data across Europe.
As the European Health Data Space (EHDS) moves from policy to implementation, hospitals and laboratories must translate regulatory requirements into operational data standards. This session supports that transition by providing practical guidance on applying HL7 FHIR and structured data domains in real-world healthcare settings.
