Download the 2026 European EHR/EPR Interoperability & Connected Care Top Performers Report

Client-rated EHR/EPR vendor rankings, EHDS readiness scoring, and connected care performance intelligence for European healthcare IT buyers

Black Book Research’s 2026 European Health Information System Interoperability, Connectivity & Connected Care Top Performers Report gives European healthcare executives, CIOs, CTOs, clinical informatics leaders, interoperability teams, public-sector digital health stakeholders, procurement groups, consultants, investors, and healthcare technology vendors a clear view of which EHR/EPR platforms are best positioned for interoperable, connected, EHDS-aligned care.

Based on feedback from 1,756 European HIT/EHR/EPR users, including 1,688 vendor-rating respondents, the report evaluates EHR/EPR vendors across seven functional outcome domains and identifies top-performing vendors in country, regional, and Europe-wide award tables.

Why download the report

European healthcare buyers are moving beyond basic system connectivity toward measurable interoperability, workflow-embedded data exchange, patient access, EHDS readiness, and connected care performance. The report shows where EHR/EPR vendors are delivering operationally usable interoperability and where buyer risk remains high.

Key findings include:

  • 72% of respondents report that their EHR/EPR can connect to external systems in at least one major workflow.

  • 24% describe their platform as capable of structured, reusable, workflow-embedded interoperability.

  • 81% say their organization is aware of European Health Data Space implications.

  • 19% say their EHR/EPR vendor has provided a credible, product-specific EHDS readiness plan.

  • 13% rate their primary vendor as well prepared for true interoperability and EHDS-aligned exchange.

  • 58% report that successful data exchange depends more on national, regional, or customer-built infrastructure than on native EHR/EPR vendor capability.

  • 18% believe their vendor could support Patient Summary and ePrescription/eDispensation exchange without major new customization.

  • 9% believe their vendor has a credible path for imaging, laboratory, and discharge-report exchange at EHDS scale.

How buyers can use the report

Use the report to support 2026 European EHR/EPR planning, interoperability strategy, vendor evaluation, and procurement decisions. It helps buyers:

  • Benchmark EHR/EPR vendor performance across country, regional, and Europe-wide markets

  • Separate basic connectivity claims from true workflow-embedded interoperability

  • Assess vendor readiness for EHDS, MyHealth@EU, and EEHRxF-aligned exchange

  • Compare vendors across interoperability, connected care, clinical usability, patient access, data quality, secondary-use readiness, resilience, and trust

  • Strengthen RFPs, renewals, and vendor scorecards with evidence-based interoperability requirements

  • Identify market leaders, challengers, and regional performers before platform commitment

  • Reduce selection risk by understanding where vendor success depends on native capability versus national middleware, regional HIE infrastructure, or customer-funded integration work
