This session presents ongoing work to harmonize the FHIR base profiles of different Nordic countries and how to align this with European efforts

FHIR is different to other standardsIn this seminar, Grahame Grieve - the father of FHIR - will describe FHIR progress so far, and provide a vision of where things could go.The seminar will also be about how FHIR uniquely enables health transformation.

The Norwegian FHIR vital signs profiles have been designed for exchange of the most important vital signs between systems, devices, and healthcare organizations in the national Norwegian healthcare system.The FHIR profiles are designed to be used for searching for and exchanging vital signs observations between software systems and are based on FHIR vital-signs, SNOMED CT terminology and OpenEHR logical models.The presentation will elaborate on lessons learned during the development process. 

Status of the first nationwide dissemination of FHIR-based standards in Denmark. The strategy is to use all datasharing paradigms with FHIR, where this case is a messagetype called "HospitalNotification" sent from regional hospitals to municipalitie careteams when patients are admitted or discharged.

The FHIR in the Nordics presentations are followed by a panel debate where participants, together with Grahame Grieve, under moderation by Vadim Peretokin, discuss what should be aligned between the countries, and what should be learned as well as un-learned, to help make the Nordic market united under a FHIR interoperability banner.

Everyone agrees interoperability is key to affordability and equity in healthcare. It's no surprise that information standards - the prerequisite for interoperability - play a role in policies in many countries. At the same time, achieving interoperability is hard, even when it's based on modern technologies that have disrupted other industries. Why is interoperability so hard in healthcare?

Secure access to health data is vital for high-quality care and innovation in the Norwegian healthcare sector. Oslo Municipality and its partners are collaborating to develop a common API based on HL7 FHIR, creating a foundation for EHR system interoperability. This effort draws on practical experience and aligns with international initiatives like the European electronic health record exchange format (EEHRxF)
