Track: Nordic Deep Dive - digital infrastructure
The Nordic countries are all at the forefront when it comes to digitization and good access to health data. But that does not prevent us from developing strategies for future improvements and progress.
To some extent, we have the same goals that we need to fulfil, (and yes, we are talking about EHDS) but how we tackle the road ahead varies depending on the conditions and other requirements in our different countries.
In this track we will learn about the work being done in three of our Nordic neighbours.
What can we learn from each other and draw inspiration from? Are we as similar as we like to think?

These abilities are mainly achieved through the infrastructure provided by the regions and municipalities infrastructure, which has entailed certain limitations on the national government´s ability to govern, prioritize and take responsibility for the national and international perspective. In recent years the government has increased its efforts, for instance through various assignments to governmental authorities such as the E-health agency.

Norway, like the other Nordic countries, has a fundamentally good health and care service, and has a long journey with digitalization of health services and building ehealth infrastructure. Norway was an early adopter of national e-health solutions, and solutions like our national health portal, e-prescription and summary care record are widely used, both by healthcare personnel and citizens. Traditionally Norway has been promoting and working according to international standards and we have a long history of collecting data for secondary usage.
