 Use Electronic Health Records data for research purposes

Provided the correct informed consent is in place and all relevant fields are coded, the patient data from the SAP Electronic Health Records system (SAP EHR) can be automatically extracted, and transformed into a standard format (HL7CDA), pseudonymised and loaded into the smart storage. The metadata will be published in the data catalogue.
