Summary of course content: Are you trying to understand the practical implications of the EHDS legislation on your software applications ? This training course offers an overview of the impact of EHDS. It focuses on the use of FHIR and other interoperability standards to support the primary use of healthcare data.

Who Should Attend: This training course is aimed at those seeking to understand the impact of the EHDS legislation on their own software applications and health IT infrastructure. This includes software vendors, healthcare organizations as well as those working on national health IT infrastructures.

Goals of the training course: Upon completion of this training course, attendees will be able to:

• Explain the core goals of the EHDS regulation;
• Understand the structure of the EHDS regulation and the associated implementation specifications;
• Determine which EHDS requirements must be implemented and how to test these requirements;
• Assess the role of national infrastructures to comply with some of the requirements;
• Help your organization to prepare for the mandated changes to your software application or health IT infrastructures.

Prerequisites: The attendees are assumed to be familiar with:

• FHIR, which e.g. can be obtained by attending our FHIR Overview training course;
• General software architecture principles.

Agenda: Please note that the agenda will be subject to change; the EHDS regulation is a work in progress. The training course reflects the known EHDS requirements as well as expectations by experts related to the future direction of the EHDS requirements.
