Brief presentations of influential frameworks of person-centred care 

The purpose of this study is to explore and describe social determinants of health (SDOH) and quality of life (QOL) domains and indicators relevant for health and social services in Indigenous communities in Canada. We critically examine the experiences, priorities, and concerns of Indigenous peoples regarding their SDOH/QOL through: (a) a hermeneutic review of academic and grey literature, (b) an interpretive descriptive qualitative study among Indigenous knowledge keepers and service providers in Indigenous communities, and (c) a Delphi study to reach consensus among knowledge keepers and service providers on priority areas of SDOH/QOL from the integrated results of the literature reviews and qualitative study. Our analysis identifies a gap in knowledge about how to integrate and use SDOH/QOL measures in digital health systems, and emphasizes privileging Indigenous voices for the use of the data relevant to their community. A next phase of our research is to inform development of an SDOH/QOL measurement framework for integration into a person-centred, Nation-based, community driven, and culturally appropriate Indigenous digital health ecosystem for health and social services in Indigenous communities in Canada. 

EIT Health organised a series of 11 roundtable discussions across Europe, bringing together experts and stakeholders from across the public health, healthcare, and health data ecosystems. The presentation will summarize the key recommendations and findings on a European level, presenting results from the EIT Health Think Tank report launched Spring 2024. 

When the Vitalis Conference takes place in May 2024 the new EU Regulation for the European Health Data Space (EHDS) may already have been finally adopted and entered into force. EHDS aims to empower the citizens when it comes to having control over their own health data. At the same time contributing to health care as well as research and innovation by providing access to relevant health data in an efficient and secure manner. Expected outcomes include for instance new innovative medical treatments and diagnostics, development of AI tools, and Precision Medicine, thus optimizing value from health data, for the benefit of individuals as well as society as a whole. However, there is no doubt that the implementation of EHDS also comes with substantial challenges of different kinds.This introduction will give an update on the status of EHDS, on preparative EU projects and describe EU and Swedish aspects on interoperability layers of legal, technical, semantic and organizational character.

Discover the future of healthcare through the lens of artificial intelligence. In this presentation, we delve into two major AI approaches: tabular and generative. We'll guide you through a complete solution, from sourcing data to module creation and validation, with the goal of delivering actionable insights for streamlined workflows. Learn how our services can accelerate your journey to value in healthcare AI.

I denna föreläsning beskriver Pihlajalinnas Chief Medical Officer, Kaisa Kujansivu hur den disruptiva naturen hos AI har börjat påverka hela organisationen. En natur som alla vårdgivare som bestämmer sig för att nyttja AI i bred skala behöver förstå!

After announcing the winner of the NORDeHEALTH 2024 benchmarking battle, we will end our session with a panel discussion. Christel Bengtner from Inera AB will reflect on the identified differences between patient portals - what are Inera's plans in these areas? What can be learned from other countries implementations of patients' online record access? Then our panel members from Sweden (Rose-Mharie Åhlfeldt and Christel Bengtner), Norway (Asbjørn Johansen Fagerlund), Finland (Sari Kujala), and Estonia (Anna Dudkina) will discuss partnership between research and practice - how do we ensure that the results from research can have an impact on practice? And how we ensure that researchers focus on issues of importance to practice? 

The Six Aims of Nursing Interactions, based on the theory of Modeling and Role-Modeling provides a theoretical framework that can help nurses practice from a holistic framework, while increasing their productivity, decreasing their stress, increasing their feelings of satisfaction and professional accomplishments; and most importantly increase their clients’ state of wellbeing. This presentation will offer nurses a framework that can be used with any population, in any setting. Through the creation of a safe, trusting, and sacred space, nurses engage with their clients to facilitate a sense of hope, control, affirmation, and empowerment to establish mutual goals that will initiate greater states of eudaemonistic health and wellbeing. Following the presentation, participants will be able to apply the major content presented into their practice, engaging and empowering their patients; essential to implementing Patient-centered care.
