This presentation provides a practical overview of implementing the OMOP CDM in a collaborative, pan-European oncology research setting and learnings from a specific study. Professor Åslaug Helland will present a case study from the DigiONE pilot project, where harmonized oncology data was used to evaluate overall survival (OS) in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) patients based on metastasis location. The study leveraged federated analysis across multiple European cancer centers, including Oslo University Hospital, to generate real-world evidence while preserving patient privacy. 
This presentation is the third in a series of presentations given as an introduction to OMOP at Vitalis.

Presentation of of the Horizon Europe project, AIDAVA with specific focus on 3 aspects: architecture and technology components,  results of the evaluation of the first generation of the prototype, value of AIDAVA as interoperability enabler for the implementation of the EHDS

Even under the most extreme conditions — including full-scale invasion, mass displacement of civilians, and systematic attacks on healthcare infrastructure — Ukraine has managed to maintain the functioning of its health system by relying on a robust digital backbone: the national Electronic Health System. With over 35 million patient records and more than 400,000 connected healthcare professionals, the system ensures secure medical data exchange, supports continuity of healthcare services, and enables real-time coordination across all regions of the country.What began as part of a healthcare reform agenda before the pandemic has evolved into a nationwide system ensuring interoperability and efficiency under extreme conditions. Ukraine’s experience demonstrates how public digital infrastructure — when built with flexibility, national stewardship, and long-term vision — can sustain essential services even in crisis.This presentation offers a powerful case study on how public sector digital transformation, driven by urgency, innovation, and determination, can operate under fire—and inspire international partnerships for the future of health data exchange in Europe.

Dataspace4Health (DS4H) in Luxembourg showcases a practical pathway to implementing the European Health Data Space. By addressing critical health data challenges in diabetes and cancer, DS4H demonstrates how secure, compliant data ecosystems can enhance care delivery and advance research. This lecture will explore Luxembourg's current approach to primary and secondary use of data and federated data space frameworks through real-world healthcare applications.

God kommunikation kan vara livsavgörande i vården. Idag dokumenteras mycket men alldeles för lite används. Genom en ökad standardisering blir data lättare att dela. Det nationella interoperabilitetsrådet har gemensamt börjat prioritera informationsmängder som ska kunna delas med varandra. Vi berättar om hur långt arbetet har kommit, hur det hänger ihop med det europeiska hälsodataområdet och hur du kan vara delaktig i omställningsarbetet.

A presentation of important EHDS questions from the perspective of Region Stockholm and Karolinska University Hospital.

The Dorieh Data Platform, developed in collaboration with Harvard, utilizes comprehensive data management tools, including domain-specific languages, to enhance data provenance and regulatory compliance in health research. By enabling detailed lineage tracking and error logging, Dorieh ensures trustworthy and reproducible use of health data. Its application to Medicare data demonstrates its effectiveness, with potential scalability to frameworks like the European Health Data Space, reinforcing modern data governance strategies.

The infrastructure, called Cancer Image Europe, is designed to preserve the data sovereignty of providers, and provide a platform, including an Atlas of Cancer Images, for the development and benchmarking of AI tools towards Precision Medicine.EUCAIM and the Cancer Image Europe platform targets clinicians, researchers, and innovators, providing the means to finally build up validated clinical decision-making systems supporting diagnosis, treatment, and predictive medicine to benefit citizens.The project is half-way and an update of recent achievements will be presented.

The Extended Electronic Health Record (Xt-EHR) Joint Action supports the Commission’s policy priority for “A Europe fit for the digital age” by implementing the EU4Health Programme’s general objective of “strengthening health systems”. This project enhances the cooperation among Member States (MS) regarding the content and functionality of EHR, the interoperability and the exchange of healthcare data, contribute to the preparation of the foundations for the improved primary use of electronic health data, the most recently voted new regulation for the European Health Data Space (EHDS), and empower individuals to control their health data.

Explore the XpanDH project’s key insights into implementing the European Electronic Health Record Exchange Format (EEHRxF) within the European Health Data Space (EHDS). This session highlights actionable strategies to foster interoperability, build trust, and drive digital health innovation across Europe.

The presentation will focus on explaining how IHE works, how IHE has evolved in the FHIR and EHDS era and more specifically why testing and the testing continuum are of critical importance in the successful development of Digital Healthcare transformation processes that incorporate interoperability transactions.

Since 2011 the Nordic Council of Ministers (NCM) eHealth group has been active to ensure knowledge transfer between the Nordic countries and strengthen the region's global leadership in eHealth. Since then, all Nordic countries have successfully digitalized their health care systems and been active at the European and global levels. On March 26th this year the EU Regulation on the European Health Data Space (EHDS) entered into force. During this session, ongoing and planned activities will be presented and the audience invited to contribute with their points of view.

This session builds on the previous OMOP 101 session. IT will provide a more practical perspective for organizations looking to adopt the OMOP Common Data Model (CDM) and join the OHDSI community to get started with federated analytics. The presentation will draw from the OMOP experience from Helsinki University Hospital (HUS) and outline key steps, required competencies, and infrastructure needed for implementation, as well as information on how to join and leverage the international OHDSI network in the process.The presentation will show how HUS has successfully navigated the process from data sources, through ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) to OMOP data, quality control, to the first federated real-world study, and further into swarm-learning for predictive modelling.This presentation is the second in a series of presentations given as an introduction to OMOP at Vitalis.

Moderatorn inleder och lägger grunden för eftermiddagens presentationer om hur Sverige förbereder sig för att kunna dela hälsodata och hur en gemensam nationell digital infrastruktur gör det möjligt att dela information effektivt och säkert.

Moderatorn inleder och sammanfattar vad vi hörde på Keynote-passet på Stora scenen på tisdagen och lägger grunden för dagens diskussioner om EHDS.

This session explores the ambitious goals of the European Health Data Space and the steps needed to fully realize its potential. It will focus on lessons learned from past initiatives, the role of TEHDAS2 and the Nordic VALO project, and the path forward for a harmonized and impactful health data framework in the EU.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare data analytics, the OMOP Common Data Model (CDM) has emerged as a game-changer, revolutionizing the way real-world evidence (RWE) is generated and utilized. This presentation gives an introduction to the OMOP Common Data model and its open community. It highlights OMOP's role in enhancing data interoperability, facilitating multi-country observational studies, and its synergy with other standards. This presentation is the first in a series of presentations given as an introduction to OMOP at Vitalis.

As AI promises to transform healthcare, significant gaps remain between theoretical potential and responsible real-world implementation that addresses patient experience concerns and ethical considerations. This panel brings together leaders in AI-based data curation, cancer imaging infrastructure, and clinical implementation to examine how far we've come in building responsible AI tools and what breakthroughs we can realistically expect as we navigate the complex regulatory landscape of the AI Act, MDR, and EHDS.
