Harnessing the power of interoperability: Building a connected and accessible healthcare 🩺 Following the adoption of EDHS in the European Union, all the countries belonging to it are analysing how to face the challenges it presents, considering the current health situation in their own countries. At the 14th Forum on Interoperability and Data Governance, organised by the SEIS, Sociedad Española de Informática de la Salud (Spanish Society of Health Informatics), Ramón Rodríguez Iborra, head of Advanced Analytics at the Murcian Health Service, stressed that, in the case of Spain, we are “in an advantageous position to connect to the European Health Data Space (EHDS) thanks to the work carried out at national level”, and although it seems that the Spanish territorial organisation is one of the liabilities to join this legislation, it turns out that it is very beneficial in terms of how it has been approached in each community. Although this news is very encouraging, there are still challenges to be solved in order to have a successful adoption. Some of these issues are: 🔗 The lack of knowledge from professionals on how to access electronic medical records, even though interoperability between communities and countries already exists in Spain. ⭐️ The need to organise and prioritise all the issues that are affecting healthcare, such as the use of data or artificial intelligence. 🔢 Improving data quality, as it is essential that, if electronic medical records are interoperable, the data exchanged must be reliable and of high quality. From our Spanish digital health company, Connect by Circular-Lab, we contribute to the adoption of this legislation through the enhancement of diagnostic data as they are not sufficiently curated or actionable, thus limiting the patient's possibility of receiving the ideal treatment according to their needs. We therefore seek to improve data quality. Let's empower a more connected and efficient healthcare! 🚀 #HealthcareInteroperability #DigitalHealth #EHDS #HealthInnovation #Datapower #ElectronicHealthRecord Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dUFZU3zE

First autochthonous #chikungunya case in #France of 2024: French public health authorities yesterday confirmed a locally-acquired case of the mosquito-transmitted chikungunya virus in Paris. Whilst the ongoing #Olympics2024 have provided an important opportunity to shine the spotlight on the risks associated with the rampant expansion of #dengue in regions such as Europe, this first case of autochthonous chikungunya serves as a timely reminder that it is in fact a raft of #arboviruses that are steadily emerging or re-emerging across the world both in reach and in intensity of outbreaks (including #yellowfever, #Oropouche and #Zika; and 8 European countries reporting locally acquired #WestNileVirus). This announcement comes just in the wake of a fatality in the Venice #Italy region two days ago which is currently investigated as a probable chikungunya infection. Whilst on the one-hand, authorities in these cases are swift to ramp up already well established vector surveillance and control strategies, on the other, shared symptoms across arboviral diseases can make clinical diagnoses more difficult; active surveillance of some dengue outbreaks for example in Ecuador (2016) have revealed that a majority of cases were in fact chikungunya. Let’s not forget that whilst the individual recent autochthonous cases emerging in Europe are rightly ringing all alarm bells to rising potential future cases, the Americas region continues to battle a very real and overwhelming 10.7 million suspected dengue cases for 2024, a 419% increase on the last 5-year average as well as unprecedented outbreaks of other arboviruses. These recent developments further support the urgent need for global cooperation and collaboration on surveillance and epidemic or pandemic preparedness. https://lnkd.in/eCXQncxG Aurélia Nguyen CEPI (Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations) European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) Pan American Health Organization ANRS French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) Clément Lazarus Agnes Soares da Silva Silvia Dallatomasina Isabela Ribeiro Sérgio L.

Today, on #MotherEarthDay and ahead of #IDM2024, let's reflect on how healthcare practices impact our planet. Did you know that healthcare services contribute to 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions? Continuity of midwife care improves maternal health outcomes and ensures more babies are born alive, on time and healthy. Better health outcomes mean mothers and babies are less likely to need further medical care in the short- and long-term. This reduces the use of medical resources and limits medical waste. By providing services in communities where people live, we also reduce the need for travel to health facilities, cutting down on carbon emissions. 🌍💚

🌟 Supporting Innovation in Healthcare Procurement 🌟 We’re excited to highlight the European Health InnoFacilitator project, led by Medicen Paris Region, which is revolutionizing the way public procurement drives innovation in healthcare. This initiative, with contributions from EHPPA - European Health Public Procurement Alliance and other key players, focuses on equipping public procurers with the knowledge and tools they need to source innovative healthcare solutions. To help public procurers navigate this landscape, the Health InnoFacilitator team has created a series of informative webinars covering key aspects of procurement: 1️⃣ How to prepare, launch, and manage procurement for innovative solutions 2️⃣ Navigating the legal considerations of innovative public procurement 3️⃣ Successfully implementing public contracts focused on innovation We encourage everyone involved in healthcare procurement to check out these valuable resources: 👉 Procurement of Innovative Solutions: https://lnkd.in/ebVbS5Dk 👉 Legal Aspects of Innovative Procurement: https://lnkd.in/e-EqK74D 👉 Implementing Public Contracts for Innovation: https://lnkd.in/e7uzfeZJ For more details on the Health InnoFacilitator project, visit ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ek724wwc #HealthcareInnovation #PublicProcurement #InnovativeSolutions #HealthInnoFacilitator #ProcurementExcellence #HealthcareFuture #InnovationInHealthcare #PublicSectorInnovation #EHealth #DigitalHealth
