The IHE Plugathon offers a unique educational and testing opportunity by leveraging IHE experiences from the well-established IHE-Europe Connectathon. The IHE Plugathon brings innovators together to learn, experiment, and connect, driving interoperability forward and powering projects to the next level.
The 2026 IHE-Europe Connectathon Week edition will offer following events:
Plugathon for EHDS Primary Usage
Monday 23 - Wednesday 25
Description:
A hands-on session focused on testing European Implementation Guides for the EHDS primary use of data (IPS, Imaging, Laboratory, HDR). Participants will validate EU project test cases, work directly with experts to resolve technical issues, and strengthen their understanding of interoperability tools.
The session is ideal for technical teams and vendors preparing for EHDS-aligned integration and results in concrete feedback reports and verified implementations.

Plugathon openEHR – Exploring openEHR Integration within IHE Profiles and further collaboration opportunities
Thursday, 26 March 2026 all day, with a dedicated testing session followed by the wrap-up.
The Plugathon Registration is OPEN
Introductory webinar for the IHE Plugathon for openEHR track at the IHE-Europe Connectathon in Brussels.
During the webinar, we will set the scene for a IHE Plugathon session that brings together three key pillars of health data interoperability: openEHR, HL7 FHIR, and IHE profiles.
The IHE Plugathon for openEHR track will combine educational sessions with open discussion, hands-on and collaborative experimentation. Together, we’ll explore how these three standards can effectively work together in supporting real-world interoperability challenges.
What we’ll cover:
- An overview of why IHE and openEHR are collaborating and what are the joint overarching goals
- How IHE Profiles, specifically QEDm, mXDE and MHD, can be extended to include openEHR capabilities
- Approaches to mapping openEHR archetypes and templates to HL7 FHIR and its compliance with IHE Profiles
- What is FHIR-Connect and openFHIR?
- Why you should join us in Brussels to contribute to advancing the collaboration between IHE and openEHR
Who should attend?
This event is for anyone working in the health data interoperability space who wants to contribute on how openEHR, EHDS, HL7 and IHE intersect, in a transparent, collaborative environment including (but not restricted to):
- Organisations making use of IHE Profiles (QEDm, mXDE, MHD) and openEHR-based data repositories
- Vendors and integrators interested in bridging between IHE, FHIR and openEHR
- Anyone at the planning, prototyping, or testing stages of a product
The IHE Plugathon is deliberately designed to create an open, collaborative environment, focused on education and learning through application.We’re excited to explore what this shared space can unlock for interoperability and future development between IHE and openEHR, and we’d love you to be part of it.
