An introduction to openEHR for beginners. This is part 1 covering what openEHR is designed to do and why.Part 2 (in the afternoon) cover both technical and clinical modeling aspects of openEHR in more detail.

Experiences with collaboration between hospital and vendor on information modelling, templating and software development attempting to increase speed and quality of product.

The momentum around openEHR is on the rise. And we will remember the year 2022 as the year when all the big players in the healthcare landscape have embraced openEHR as the standard for data persistence. Microsoft, Dedalus, EY, and many many more have joined the openEHR community and as EY stated in its latest document, openEHR is the only international open health data standard that can cater for the complexity of health semantics and is designed for persistence.
In the session, we will hear it from the co-chair of the openEHR International, an organisation that is actively promoting lifelong, patient‑centric shared health records, future‑proof data, and clinical process support. Tomaž Gornik is an openEHR visionary who has been promoting openEHR and other open standards for more than 20 years, and who has a proven track record of delivering innovative turn-key solutions, as well as state-of-the-art technology, architectures, and processes.
What are the benefits that the openEHR standard and a modular ecosystem based on open data bring? What can we learn from openEHR cases across Europe? How can we build on the momentum of this year and what will the future in digital healthcare bring? In his lecture, Gornik will answer all of these questions, present the concrete use-cases and lessons learned with real-world deployments, and try to explain how could openEHR benefit the healthcare system of Sweden.

Most Nordic countries have created their own set of FHIR base profiles. There has not been harmonization between these efforts, rather each country has had their own internal process. However, harmonizing the base profiles would be really useful. A harmonized content format across the Nordic countries would allow a FHIR app developed in one country to be used in another without major modifications. It would also simplify sharing health data across borders.A new initiative is being launched to harmonize the FHIR base profiles across the Nordic countries.

Third party apps extend the capabilities of electronic health record systems by offering additional capabilities and features, streamlining processes in specific therapeutic areas, bringing in patient generated health data, and providing advanced analytics and AI functionalities to get more benefits out of the data in the system.The HL7 FHIR specification is an enabler for this. This showcase presents dozens of FHIR apps connected to dozens of FHIR capable platforms.

Digital health innovations are designed to help save time, boost accuracy and efficiency, and combine technologies in ways that will revolutionize the new digital healthcare era. By optimizing the right tools and open system platforms increases the innovation for healthcare - which has created tangible benefits for the entire healthcare-chain from the profession to patient with real-time access to patient information and improving care processes. Finland is the frontrunner in implementing open data in ecosystem platforms, learn how the CIO Toni Suihko from Kanta-Häme Hospital District (KHSHP) has increased the speed of healthcare innovations.
