HIMSS Breakfast Briefing

15 June 2022, from 07:45 - 08:45 EEST

at HIMMS Europe 2022, Messukeskus Helsinki, Auditorium 201

The Nordic region aims to be the most integrated health region in the world by 2030, according to the Nordic Council of Ministers. A shift towards digital health, and its focus on the self-management of health by Nordic populations, will be an important step on this journey, but it also brings new risks. 

Despite the 350,000 digital health technologies on the market, no standardised regulation or risk management system is in place in any of the Nordic countries. This has left medical professionals unable to find and prescribe digital technologies safely.

To resolve this critical issue and lead the world in adopting connected health technologies on a large scale, the Nordic Digital Health and Evaluation Criteria programme, NordDEC, has been created. The NordDEC is a world-first programme to unify digital health standards across multiple countries, delivering safe digital health across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Iceland.

Join our session, for breakfast, coffee and to learn: 

• What criteria is included in the Framework.
• What international best practice is included.
• What new criteria, not featured in any other quality framework, is included.  
• How local requirements are cost-effectively layered-on.
• How the need for tangible evidence is addressed. 
• How the Framework will help the industry and digital health suppliers.

Hear from the team who have led the programme, including Anders Tunold-Hanssen, CEO, N!P, and Liz Ashall-Payne, Founding CEO, The Organisation for the Review of Care and Health Apps (ORCHA), introduce the Framework.
