General information
The eHealth Digital Service Infrastructure (eHDSI or eHealth DSI) is an information and communication infrastructure that enables safe and simple access to a patient’s health data in the case of medical treatment or the dispensation of medicinal products in pharmacies when the patent is receiving healthcare or medicinal products outside their country of origin. The data can be accessed at any time by health professionals anywhere in the EU.
The cross-border exchange of health data takes place via a network of secure communication hubs known as National Contact Points for eHealth (NCPeH), which are managed by Member States. Every EU Member State is responsible for managing personal data in its territory.
The National Contact Point for eHealth in Slovenia is called SiNCP. The authorised administrator of SiNCP is the National Institute of Public Health (NIJZ), which is also the controller responsible for processing personal data in the context of cross-border exchange.
