This webinar will:
- Explain IPS+R (International Patient Summary + Research), a new standard extending the International Patient Summary to support secondary data uses such as public health and research.
- Present the EUCROF xShare Open Call 2025, which invites early adopters to test and integrate the Yellow Button.
- Introduce a global list of Business Use Cases, focusing on real-world data items most valuable to clinical research, along with proposals for a research extension to the IPS (IPS+).
- Detail the application process, eligibility criteria, the assessment criteria and evaluation process. You will also learn how successful applicants will be supported throughout their participation.
- Feature a panel of specialists, who will discuss practical use cases showing how IPS+R can be applied in real-world research scenarios.
This session offers a unique opportunity to discover how to participate in shaping Europe’s future of interoperable, patient-driven health data sharing.
Note: The deadline for submitting outline proposals for the EUCROF xShare Open Call is 14 November 2025.
