Empowering Healthcare Professionals: The e-Hospital4Future Project
The e-Hospital4Future project aims to create innovative training modules for healthcare professionals in hospital settings.
The focus of e-Hospital4Future is to enhance the education process of health professionals by integrating social skills, technical skills, and digital skills modules.
We're delighted to announce that the eHealth4Future EU co-funded project has reached its one-year milestone with a successful second in-person transnational meeting held in Barcelona.
During this meeting, we engaged in fruitful discussions regarding the future of our project and had the opportunity to showcase the progress we have made thus far.
Our team has been diligently working on developing pilot programs, and we're thrilled to share that more than 70 dedicated healthcare professionals have actively participated and provided invaluable feedback.
Their input has played a significant role in shaping our project's trajectory.
Currently, we are in the process of finalizing 19 courses. These courses aim to assist healthcare professionals in embracing digital solutions to enhance patient outcomes.
We are all excited about the potential impact this project can have in transforming the field of health.
