The Xpanding Innovative Alliance (XiA) is a forward-thinking European initiative addressing interoperability challenges in digital health with the European Health Data Space (EHDS). By leveraging an innovative pedagogical approach, XiA aims to bridge the skills gap in advanced digital health interoperability standards, targeting IT professionals, healthcare providers, and implementers of the EHDS and the European Electronic Health Record Exchange Format (EEHRxF). This project is committed to building an efficient, integrated, and citizen-centric European healthcare ecosystem.
