A new HL7 Europe Labs-on-FHIR webinar, this time with a look at Sweden, will be held on Thursday, 13 March 2025, at 16.00 CET.

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. Data from laboratory systems deliver the basis for diagnostic decisions, help patients manage chronic conditions, and make our healthcare systems more effective and efficient, if it can be delivered where and when it is needed. That’s why interoperability is needed.

In our HL7 Europe “Labs-on-FHIR” webinar series, we are looking this month at the experience in Sweden on their journey to implement FHIR in laboratory systems, navigating legacy systems and stakeholder engagement, and working in a complex political environment.

Featured speaker will be Daniel Karlsson from The Swedish eHealth Agency E-hälsomyndigheten which coordinates the government’s e-health initiatives, and Gunnar Nordin from Equalis AB, a Swedish company that assesses the quality of lab results and manages the NPU terminology system for Swedish laboratories.

Panellists will include:
– Univ.-Prof. Dr. med. Sylvia Thun, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and chair of HL7 Germany
– Jean Michel Polfliet, eHealth Platform Belgium
– Giorgio Cangioli, HL7 Europe
