Data collector / health data intermediation entity

Term, not defined in lawEHDS

This is not a legal definition. The role is described in Article 50 of the EHDS and recitals 59 and 76.

The EHDS uses the term "health data intermediation entity", which can cause confusion because it resembles the term "data intermediation service" from the Data Governance Act (which is something entirely different). It is an independent legal person that collects health data from many similar data holders (such as GPs or individual municipal health services) and, under or pursuant to a law, takes over their EHDS obligations, so that the HDAB does not have to approach each holder separately.
