Citizens' health data - Nordic initiatives Passed

Tuesday May 23, 2023 11:20 - 11:40 F3

Lecturers: Niclas Forsling, Rasmus Malmborg

Track: Eng - International Perspective on eHealth

Within Nordic cooperation and with funding from the Nordic Council of Ministers, a number of projects are underway as part of the Nordic Vision 2030 goals; The Nordic region will become the most sustainable and integrated region in the world. Some examples of ongoing and completed projects are presented during this session. Integrated Healthcare and care (iHAC) 2021-2024 is run by the Centre for Rural Medicine in Storuman Sweden and the Nordic Welfare centre. The project focuses on the citizen perspective in national and regional models for integrated management of healthcare and social care data. Five model regions are presented in the report Integrated Healthcare and Care through distance spanning solutions – for increased service accessibility as examples of how cooperation between regions and municipalities creates conditions for integrated healthcare and care. Nordforsk runs the more research-oriented project Nordic Commons with a focus on secondary use of health data for research. The NIP-Nordic Interoperability Project is a completed project that Nordic Innovation was responsible for with a focus on health data and innovation.

THL in Finland runs the Finnish presidency project 2021-2023, World's Smoothest Cross-Border Mobility and Daily Life Through Digitalisation with a focus on e-prescriptions and Patient Summary. In 2021, the project published the report Baseline study of cross-border data exchange in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The project is partly a continuation of the project the Swedish E-health authority carried out in the Nordic project Care and care at a distance (VOPD) 2018-2021 with a focus on cross border e-prescriptions and patient summaries.

The Nordic projects will be briefly presented and a reflection will be made on the assignments in view of the ongoing work within the European Health Data Space (EHDS).
