For VASCERN Members

To access CPMS 2.0, you’ll need an EU Login account with two-factor authentication (2FA). Here’s how to get started:

1. Create an EU Login Account

• Visit the EU Login account creation page and follow the steps to create an account.

2. Set Up Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

You will have to configure your EU account with two-factor authentication (2FA). Two-factor authentication ensures secure access to the platform. You can find more information about second verification factors here: What second factor can I configure with my account? – European Union

• Configure your account for 2FA using one of these recommended methods:
  • EU Login Mobile App PIN or QR Code: Download the EU Login Mobile App and configure it following these instructions.
  • eID Authentication: Use your national electronic ID (eID). Note that this option may not be available in all European countries. Learn more here.

Important: The SMS-based 2FA option is being phased out. To avoid disruptions, configure one of the recommended methods above.

3. Access the EU Login User Guide

For detailed instructions on setting up your account and 2FA, consult the EU Login User Guide.

Once your EU Login account is set up and authorized, you’ll receive a notification from the ERN IT Team (different from VASCERN CPMS Helpdesk).

CPMS 2.0 is designed with GDPR compliance in mind. Each HCP acts as a joint data controller for patient information processed in the context of the work of the ERNs using the CPMS 2.0 platform to ensure patient data is handled responsibly.

Patient Informed Consent

• Each HCP is responsible for creating and managing their own patient consent form and archiving all signed forms.
• The European Commission provides a Patient Consent Form Template that aligns with the platform’s functionalities.
• While using this template is recommended, HCPs may opt for alternative forms that meet GDPR requirements.

Data Oversight

National supervisory authorities oversee the compliance of patient consent forms with GDPR regulations, ensuring data is managed according to legal standards.
