The EFN has met a group of post-grad nurses from the University of Hasselt, Belgium, where it presented how the EFN conducts its lobby work towards the European Institutions, in order to represent the voice of nurses at the highest levels of European Policymaking. As key platforms for health system reforms, the EFN is also a partner in European funded projects: the KEEPCARING Project<\/a> and the ICUData4EU Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As such, the EFN presented the KEEPCARING Project, including the project\u2019s 6 clinical studies (more information can be found in this KEEPCARING Press Release<\/a>)<\/em>, and the KEEPCARING Change Management Platform (CMP), being developed with the evidence-base collected in the clinical studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, the participants were shown a video-presentation of the CMP<\/a>, highlighting its main functionalities and distinctive features which will enable frontline healthcare professionals to monitor their stress and resilience levels, and access adequate interventions which can support them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, participants were given a demo of the VR solution being developed by the project partner Healthy Mind, which is currently being tested being tested in Amsterdam UMC and Rigshospitalet Copenhagen to assess whether using VR before working in the OR, and using VR during shifts in the surgical ward, can help lower down stress and improve resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the EFN presented the ICUData4EU project, which aims to improve critical care outcomes through innovative data solutions. By leveraging data interoperability, artificial intelligence, and cross-border collaboration, the project aims to equip healthcare professionals with actionable insights to improve patient outcomes across Europe. The project\u2019s mission is to develop a unified framework for collecting, sharing, and analysing Intensive Care Unit (ICU) data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this regard, the core project deliverable is the establishment of a federated data space where hospitals, research institutions, and healthcare providers can securely exchange and use data while retaining control over their local data assets, in alignment with the EHDS. This federated data space is already being piloted to test whether it can support the delivery of quality patients care, with the Advanced Kidney Injury (AKI) primary use case being the first to be tested. However, more primary use cases will be tested, and the platform is also being tested to support research objectives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meetings like this one represent a key opportunity for the EFN to collect plenty of feedback which is key to strengthen its role as end-users\u2019 representative in the European Projects!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
