ANNEXES
This Regulation imposes a mandatory conformity self-assessment scheme for the harmonised software components of EHR systems to ensure that EHR systems placed on the Union market are able to exchange data in the European electronic health record exchange format and that they have the required logging capabilities. That mandatory conformity self-assessment, which would be in the form of an EU declaration of conformity by the manufacturer, should ensure that those requirements are fulfilled in a proportionate way, while avoiding an undue burden on Member States and manufacturers.
In order to guarantee the effective exercise by patients of their rights under this Regulation, healthcare providers developing and using an EHR system ‘in-house’ to carry out internal activities without placing it on the market in return for payment or remuneration should also comply with this Regulation. In that context, such healthcare providers should comply with all requirements applicable to manufacturers as regards such EHR systems that are developed ‘in-house’ and that such healthcare providers put into service. However, given that the healthcare providers may need additional time to prepare for compliance with this Regulation, those requirements should only apply to such systems after an extended transitional period.
