"Health Information Systems training and certification implementation for higher education (HIS4HE) project addresses the education and labour market needs of medicine students in higher education schools, users of patient data systems, such as doctors, nurses and healthcare support staff, etc. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) nowadays are important in all workplaces. TThe number of actions have been taken by European Commission (EC) in order to help people to acquire digital knowledge and skills – especially in the workplace. Online courses together with certification can help get right competences for medical students and medical staff.According to the “Digital Agenda for Europe” (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX%3A52010DC0245R%2801%29) one of the action areas is the sustainable healthcare and ICT-based support for dignified and independent living. It is recognized, that “the deployment of eHealth technologies in Europe can improve the quality of care, reduce medical costs and foster independent living, including in remote places. An essential condition for success is that these technologies incorporate the right of individuals to have their personal health information safely stored within a healthcare system accessible online. To exploit the full potential of new eHealth services, the EU needs to remove legal and organizational barriers, particularly those to pan-European interoperability, and strengthen cooperation among Member States.”The project aims to use the knowledge standard applicable in Europe (the ECDL Health, specifically), which defines the HIS curriculum content as well as sets the required level of knowledge and helps ensure module studies/training quality. At the same, implemented standard would help to recognize the existing qualifications of HIS professionals in Latvia and Lithuania internationally. The ECDL HIS certification modules and tools in Lithuania and Latvia are implemented and run by ITI and LIKTA respectively.The project partners designed, developed and implemented an up-to-date curriculum, training materials, blended learning environment, and certification system „Health Information Systems Usage”.The main intellectual outputs are related to the health information systems and they include:Country analysis report and recommendationsSyllabus, syllabus guide and study moduleCourseware for e-course Assessment and certification toolsGood practice guideIn order to introduce project results for target groups two multiplier events were organised in partners’ countries: Latvia and Lithuania.There are identified main target groups which are impacted by the project: 1)Higher education students and teachers (study programs related with usage of health information systems)2)Medical staff using health information systemsThis target group will benefit from the project by participating in training and certification, which will improve their knowledge and competencies in labor market.Project results can also be used by other education organizations which are responsible for medical staff preparation or skills upgrade and raising of qualification like colleges VET schools, adult education centres, and etc. The partnership is composed by 5 members including coordinator Kaunas University of Technology; all active in the fields of ICT related training and program development, education and ICT skills certification.Coordinator Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) having hude experience scientific researces, training material developement, online trainings and etc.Public institution Information Technologies Institute- has strong experience in IT training/testing courseware design and development.LIKTA is the official partner of ECDL in Lithuania.DLGI-It is an accreditation agency for IT-certification, which has successfully introduced an European IT certification standard by implementing ECDL, the European Computer Driving Licence, in Germany. DGLI help create project results, consult, shares experience and expertise project results.LIKTA-has a wide experience in designing ICT based training programs for adult learners. LIKTA is the official partner of ECDL in Latvia.All learning products are implemented for partners in Latvia and Lithuania activities, and offered to national higher education/VET institutions and presented for other European countries educators by ECDL products marketing line.All learning products were tested by and improved after analysis of pilot studies/training and testing/certification in Lithuania and Latvia. All learning products are presented to national higher education and VET institutions, and encouraged to use in health studies curricula. Good practice guide will help by implementing whole training course. EN versions will be used for dissemination in other European countries as ""demo"" and further localization base.All project results are available at the project website."
