Companies with expertise in the openEHR standard collaborate to deliver a nationwide openEHR training program in Spain.

Valencia, Spain - VeraTech for Health and Rosaldo, leading companies in the eHealth and openEHR consulting sector, have joined their knowledge and experience to develop a comprehensive openEHR training program in Spanish. This initiative arises in response to the growing interest in this standard throughout Spain and focuses on covering the training needs of different profiles, from functional to developers.

OpenEHR is a set of open-source specifications that allow the construction of electronic health record systems based on the principles of semantic interoperability of healthcare data.

VeraTech for Health is a Valencian company dedicated to consultancy and services in the field of semantic interoperability. Veratech for Health is an expert in openEHR and other open standards and terminologies. 

Rosaldo is a Finnish company with more than 25 years of experience in the eHealth, MedTech, and Life Science industries. It specializes in innovations and disruptions in these industries. Rosaldo has introduced an innovative eLearning Ecosystem and has successfully sold openEHR eLearning Courses developed by Rosaldo and its partners to customers in 19 countries.

David Moner, consultant at Veratech for Health, has contributed to the generation of openEHR. Hanna Pohjonen, a Rosaldo consultant, is a pioneer in delivering openEHR training to a wider audience as a transformational tool. Both David and Hanna are board members of the openEHR international education program and are recognized with an openEHR Recognised Educators seal. Their experience and expertise are instrumental in the design and development of the training program in Spanish.

The language of the training is Spanish, which allows for greater accessibility and adaptability for Spanish-speaking participants. During the training, national and international use cases are presented, which will allow students to acquire a more global and complete vision of the use of openEHR in different contexts.

The openEHR training program offered by VeraTech for Health is divided into three modules, each designed for different professional profiles. The first module, called "openEHR Fundamentals," is suitable for any role or audience with no prior knowledge of openEHR. This module will familiarize you with an alternative, step-by-step approach to creating electronic medical and social health records using functional modules from various vendors. You will learn about the international openEHR data model, its advantages and risks, and how it can be used as a basis for electronic health and social records. You will also learn how the openEHR market is developing in Europe and beyond.

The second module, "Information modeling for the electronic health record in openEHR", is aimed at healthcare professionals, informaticians and computer scientists who wish to specialize in clinical modeling in openEHR. In this course you will be able to understand how openEHR can be used to develop interoperable and scalable health information systems, as well as acquire skills in modeling archetypes and templates in openEHR.

Finally, the third module, "openEHR for developers", is aimed at professionals with advanced computer and technology skills, and who wish to delve deeper into the development of applications and systems based on openEHR. In addition, you will learn about the tools and programming languages used for the representation and processing of archetypes and templates.

The digitization of training is another cornerstone of our openEHR training program. The interactive platform enables social eLearning: you can study at your own pace, but also communicate with your peers and course facilitators. The program structure is modular and easily adaptable to all profiles. In addition, the platform allows detailed monitoring of participants' progress and offers evaluation and feedback tools.

 The training program will start with the openEHR Awareness course aimed at expanding awareness of openEHR in the Spanish regions and in the healthcare IT industry.
