New webinar series “Implement the EU lab report in your hospital”
A series of webinars that will help prepare your organization for EEHRxF implementation based on the experience of members of the community.
Hospitals on FHIR, in collaboration with HL7 Europe and the XIA Project, is pleased to introduce a brand-new webinar series for 2026.
This free webinar series is designed to inform and engage the community on the fundamentals of HL7 FHIR resources. Delivered as monthly, 30-minute afternoon sessions, each webinar focuses on a key topic, making it easy to build knowledge quickly and consistently.
Whether you are new to FHIR or looking to strengthen your understanding, this series offers a practical and accessible way to learn, one short session at a time.
First session: The series kicks off with a 30-minute webinar delivered by Simon Lewerenz (XIA Project), focusing on the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and the priority health data domains.
📅 Date: 26 February 2026
🕒 Time: 15:00
This free opening Hospitals on FHIR webinar introduces the European Health Data Space (EHDS), in partnership with HL7 Europe and the Xia project, and provides an overview of the health data categories defined for primary use. It describes which types of health data are in focus, how they are framed at the EU level and what this means in practice for healthcare organisations and IT providers.
The session sets the regulatory and conceptual foundation for the full webinar series, clarifying how EHDS data categories translate into concrete interoperability requirements.
Speaker:
Simon Lewerenz (ISCTE)
Researcher in digital health and interoperability. Simon has been involved in several EHDS-related European projects during his PhD, working under the coordination of Henrique Martins, with a focus on European health data governance and interoperability frameworks.
Hospitals on FHIR, in collaboration with HL7 Europe and the XIA Project, is pleased to announce the second webinar in the series HoF – Implementing the EU Lab Report at Your Hospital: Medical Terminologies – Foundations for Semantic Interoperability.
Building on the regulatory foundations introduced in the first session, this webinar dives into the semantic layer that makes EHDS data categories truly usable in practice.
📅 Date: 26 March 2026
🕒 Time: 15:00
The session will also explain why terminologies are a prerequisite for interoperability, data reuse, analytics, and cross-border data exchange, and how they are concretely applied in modern standards such as HL7 FHIR.
🎙 Speaker
Roberta Gazzarata Ph.D, HL7 Europe
Expert in health data interoperability and medical terminologies, actively involved in European and international standardisation activities, with a strong focus on semantic interoperability, terminology binding, and EHDS-aligned data exchange.
