Nordic perspective

Look to the Nordics, the most integrated health region by 2030!

How can the Nordics can be a frontrunner in health data sharing and involvement of patients?

The Nordic Welfare Model is not sustainable. There is a need for a fundamental shift from sick care to preventive health to ensure the longevity of our healthcare systems and improved quality of life. Technology, involvement of the citizens and a more holistic approach to sharing of data will be some of the main drivers in this transformation.

These were some of the conclusions of the NordicHealth2030Report from 2019. So how are we doing? What does the citizen say? And health professionals? And what is next?

EHiN wants to connect and activate people across the Nordics to work together towards sustainable solutions and inclusive partnerships.

This session is the start of the Nordic perspective at EHiN 2022.

Moderator: Anders Tunold-Hanssen, Prosjektleder, Nordic Interoperability Project
