The European Health Data Space will advance the adoption of international standards
to advance
healthcare interoperability, to improve healthcare for European citizens and to aggregate
data
for research and innovation. The actual adoption of standards happens on the ground,
in national
and regional healthcare systems.
In our HL7 Europe “Labs-on-FHIR” webinar series, we are looking this month at the
experience in Portugal on their journey to implement FHIR in laboratory systems,
navigating legacy systems and stakeholder engagement while implementing the
recent HL7 Europe Laboratory Report Implementation Guide.
Featured speakers will be Filipe Mealha and Sara Marques Russo from SPMS, the
Department for Shared Services of the Ministry of Health in Portugal. There will
be a panel of experts, and plenty of time for audience Q&A.
Panellists will include: Alexander Henket, NICTIZ (NL), Jean-Michel Polfliet, eHealth
Platform (BE), João Almeida, HL7 Portugal, Giorgio Cangioli, HL7 Europe
