HL7 Europe

Data and information are vital in the fight against cancer, and help survivors lead long and healthy lives. The PanCare Survivorship Passport is a pathbreaking solution that can empower patients with information and help with their long term treatment. But moving data to standardised formats is not always easy. Today at the Hospitals on FHIR User Days, we had great speakers in the PCSP session sharing their stories, including Riccardo Haupt from Giannina Gaslini Institute (IT), Edit Bardi from St. Anna Children's Cancer Research Institute (AT), Justas Trinkunas from Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos (LT), and Alexandre Siau from University Hospital Leuven (BE). Roberta Gazzarata from HL7 Europe added valuable perspective. Thank you to all speakers and to the audience for engaging discussions.

German labs are on #FHIR. But how many FHIRs are there? How does the German work on standardising lab report data relate to the HL7 Lab Report FHIR Implementation Guide? And to the European Lab Report FHIR IG? Fascinating discussions with the panel and the participants about the diversity of national health systems and the prospects for convergence, at the latest HL7 Europe Labs-on-FHIR webinar on Germany. The recording and slides are now available on hl7.tv: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eEqYXhDj Many thanks to our featured speaker Prof. Sylvia Thun and our panelists Stefan Sabutsch and Emmanuel Helm from ELGA GmbH in Austria, Alexander Henket from Nictiz in the Netherlands, and Zsolt Puskas from ESZFK Nonprofit Kft. in Hungary, and to our moderator Michael Strübin. #digitalhealth #healthdata

HL7 Europe and IHE-Europe Join Forces to Drive Digital Health Forward and Enhance Interoperability, Brussels, Belgium [November 12, 2024] – HL7 Europe and IHE - Europe announce a strengthened collaboration to help propel the European Health Data Space (EHDS) goals to drive digital health forward and enhance interoperability. By combining their expertise, HL7 Europe and IHE-Europe aim to support the core objectives of the EHDS. This signifies a new era of data accessibility and exchange within the European Union, presenting an unprecedented opportunity for Member States to elevate healthcare standards. IHE-Europe Vendor Co-Chair Janos Vincze of GE Healthcare expressed enthusiasm, highlighting: “With the EHDS Europe will make a big leap in digital health, thereby improving the lives of patients, enhance the access to data for physicians and researchers, and create a more unified European market for vendors. I am excited that HL7 Europe and IHE-Europe double their efforts to collaboratively support this initiative”. Giorgio Cangioli, Technical Lead for HL7 Europe, said about this agreement: “At HL7 Europe, we recognize the transformative potential of the EHDS in creating truly integrated healthcare across Europe. Together with IHE-Europe and other standards-developing organizations, we aim to build a strong foundation for an efficient, accessible, and secure health data landscape. We look forward to deepening our collaboration, actively engaging our communities—including HL7 Affiliates and the HL7 Europe Technical Coordination Team—to deliver concrete, impactful solutions for our stakeholders”. As chair of the European Health Informatics standards committee CEN/TC 251, Robert Stegwee sees his aspirations of close collaboration between standards developing organisations (SDOs) take hold in Europe, fueled by the EHDS: “We are already very successful in global collaboration on the set of standards for the International Patient Summary. I’m very glad to see this strengthened by HL7 and IHE in Europe as well and look forward to broader SDO collaboration, through the xShare project, in establishing the European EHRxF Standards and Policy Hub”. Details on the HL7 Europe and IHE-Europe collaboration will be unveiled in the 2nd EEHRxF Summit, in Brussels, Belgium and online on the 13th of November 2024. https://lnkd.in/gAT4A8S9 Link to full press release: https://lnkd.in/gAqneJdW #HL7Europe #IHE-Europe #Digital Health #European Health Data Space #DataExchange #PatientEmpowerment #XpanDH #xSHARE
