How to: Pushing eHealth interoperability in Germany
summary
Germany creates a governance stack with a national coordination center plus a seven‑member interop council and a pool of ~180 experts that run ≤10‑person working groups, publish recommendations, and produce a roadmap through 2024. New data‑communication standards are required to be based on FHIR via a published criteria catalog; recommendations can be pushed to the ministry to become mandatory. Deliverables so far include national guidance on terminology services and a reference validator for standard conformance.
