Interoperability, Data Protection and Security and Data Analytics are of high relevance for the future of eHealth and interprofessional care. Three online courses were therefore designed and delivered for these topics, all of which followed the same structure. A variety of materials were developed and different tools for knowledge transfer, communication and collaboration were used.
This report summarizes and discusses the development, main achievements and overall progress of The Interprofessional European eHealth Programme in Higher Education (eHealth4all@EU) project. The project evolved through a strong partnership between members of the consortium, grounding its activities on previous initiatives like TIGER and taking them one step further while looking into the digital health competencies required by graduate students working in health and care and providing teaching approaches and other initiatives to extend further a set of core competencies: Health Information Systems Interoperability, Data Security and Privacy and Data Analytics. Although the project activities underwent during the pandemic period, a condition that forced reorganization and adaptation of the workplan, the main initiatives like the identification of significant areas of interest for digital health competencies and related relevant teaching methods that foster active learning paved the way for the construction of learning content structured around a syllabus aimed at distance learning and faceto- face learning moments developed with the intent for reuse and fostering the development of these set of competences in future Health Professionals. To this purpose, we are convinced that grounding steps have been taken with these eHealth4All@EU activities and initiatives.
In September 2022, the interprofessional European Summer School on the topic “Information in Healthcare – From Data to Knowledge” was held at the University of Porto. This Summer School included the topics Interoperability, Data Protection and Security and Data Analytics and consisted of an online preparation phase and an attendance phase in Porto. The didactic concept involved problem-based learning using a case study. A variety of course materials were developed and used to achieve the learning objectives. There are plans to continue the Summer School concept at participating institutions in the future, starting with a Spring School 2023 in Osnabrück.
