Hospitals On FHIR session at HIMSS Conference 2025

Paris, 10-12 June 2025

Wednesday 11th June - 11:55

Join us at HIMSS25 - European Health Conference & Exhibition

Thursday 15th May Q4 (15:30 - 17:00 CEST) 

The European Health Data Space (EHDS) represents a paradigm shift in healthcare, promising seamless cross-border data exchange and empowering secondary use for research and innovation. Hospitals, as central data hubs within healthcare ecosystems, are pivotal in realizing the EHDS vision. However, navigating the complexities of EHDS implementation, ensuring interoperability, and leveraging its opportunities can feel daunting.

This session, led by Hospitals on FHIR, will provide a practical and actionable roadmap for healthcare providers to embrace the EHDS. We will delve into the core principles of the EHDS, dissect its implications for hospital operations – from patient care and data governance to research and public health reporting – and explore how FHIR serves as the lingua franca for achieving EHDS compliance and maximizing its benefits.

The session is designed for hospital leaders, IT professionals, clinical informaticians, data governance experts, and anyone involved in shaping their hospital's digital strategy in the era of the EHDS. 

Join us to transform the EHDS from a regulatory challenge into a strategic opportunity for your hospital and the wider European healthcare community.

AGENDA

15:30 - 15.45 Stefano Dalmiani - Clarity on the EHDS Landscape: Understand the key objectives, regulations, constraints (cybersecurity, patient safety, etc.) and timelines of the EHDS and its specific impact on hospitals.

15:45 - 16:05 Giorgio Cangioli -  FHIR as the EHDS Enabler: Discover concrete strategies for leveraging FHIR to facilitate data exchange, consent management, security, and secondary use within the EHDS framework.

16:05 - 16:20 Karlien Erauw - FHIR as the EHDS Enabler for research: how to support the secondary usage of EHDS through FHIR. 

16:20 - 16:40 Luc Chatty - Practical Implementation Strategies: Explore real-world use cases and best practices for adopting FHIR-based solutions to meet EHDS requirements within existing hospital IT infrastructure

16:40 - 16:55  Discussion with participants - Interactive Problem Solving: Engage in collaborative discussions and exercises to address common challenges (cybersecurity, business continuity, privacy, etc.) and identify innovative solutions for EHDS implementation in diverse hospital settings and for data holders.

16:55 - 17:00 Stefano Dalmiani - conclusions and Actionable Takeaways: steps that healthcare providers can take to prepare for and actively contribute to the European Health Data Space, empowered by FHIR. Future events and activities for Hospitals on FHIR.

Why a HL7 FHIR user day ? Rennes welcomes this year the European e-health week. We believe that iin e-health, we must put forwards the end-users of FHIR : Healthcare structures, practitioner, patients.

Organized by Hospital-On-FHIR, we intend to show to those users, what can be done using FHIR and real world projects being implemented.

Showing concrete HL7 FHIR : FHIR has been very far from the preoccupations of the healthcare system end-user. To create enthusiasm and adoption, we need to show them that FHIR can be implemented in a fast and easy way to solve some real world issues.

Creating a community : Fhir is a community standard. We wish that the event can help create a FHIR user community and reinforce the french FHIR community. In order to do so, even though users are the main focus of the event, we have the participation of vendors and institutions.
