IHE Experience Day 2022, 13 Sept

Delegates to the Joint IHE Experience Day were treated to a superb programme of interoperability presentations from both locations – a unique blend of educational, experience-sharing, discussions, future ideas and plans.

IHE Suisse (in collaboration with eHealth Suisse) and IHE-Europe offered an exciting programme of interoperability-themed, educational and inspirational events, building on the many successful aspects of the 2020 and 2021 online sessions, which received excellent feedback.
 
The inspiring European Experience Sessions ran in parallel with the Connectathon, also taking place in the unique Montreux Music and Convention Centre, known as the 2m2c.
 

The recordings of the 2022 sessions can be accessed here.

 

 

Leading interoperability experts reflecting various perspectives presented on existing and new interoperability projects from across the globe. European experts associated with the European Union’s digital interoperability programmes  provided up-to-date material showing the benefits that the IHE way of working provides for vendors, users, procurement organisations and government institutions.
