Clinipower, together with Laurea University of Applied Sciences, is organizing an event in Finland as part of the European XiA (Xpanding Innovative Alliance) project. The event will examine the progress of the implementation of the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and its implications for Finnish organizations.
The XiA project aims to strengthen digital interoperability in healthcare and build the competencies that EHDS implementation requires from healthcare organizations and professionals. The project develops training resources and learning pathways that support digital transformation, the utilization of health data, and the adoption of European interoperability requirements.
What Competencies Are Required by Different Stakeholders?
You are warmly invited to join this timely event focusing on the European Health Data Space (EHDS) and its implications for organisations in Finland. The event will provide an overview of the current European and national EHDS landscape, with particular attention to the competencies and capabilities organisations need to develop as the EHDS framework advances.
The programme will also introduce the XiA (Xpanding Innovative Alliance) project and its educational resources designed to support stakeholders in navigating digital transformation and innovation in healthcare. Participants will learn about XiA’s training materials, learning opportunities, and practical tools that can help organisations and professionals strengthen their knowledge and readiness for emerging European health data and innovation ecosystems.
