The European Health Data Space is coming and with it the push to move health data across borders, both to improve healthcare for European citizens and to aggregate data for research and innovation. But health data interoperability requires careful coordination between international interoperability standards, and implementation at the local level. HL7 offers with its FHIR specifications (FHIR stands for "Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources") a powerful toolbox, and at the same time a worldwide community of experts and implementers committed to advancing the power of health data.

HL7 Europe is proud to host a webinar to feature the Dutch experience on their ongoing journey to implement FHIR, navigating legacy systems and stakeholder engagement while implementing the recent HL7 Europe Laboratory Report FHIR Implementation Guide (published in spring 2024 as the first IG developed specifically in and for Europe).

Featured speaker will be Alexander Henket from NICTIZ, the Dutch competence centre for digital health. There will be a panel of experts including Esther Peelen (NICTIZ), Bert Kabbes (HL7 Netherlands), Giorgio Cangioli, HL7 Europe
