Aim

The EU4Health ‘DDS-MAP’ project aims to develop new training provision for healthcare and allied professionals in the EU, focused on the acquisition and mastery of new digital technologies in the delivery of care services. Healthcare professionals’ awareness, knowledge, and self-reflection on their use of digital technologies will be explored in both learning and professional practice.

Specific objectives:
- Map the provision of available digital skills (literacy, digital transformation, cybersecurity, online communication) of the health workforce at local and European level to increase digital competency of healthcare workers.
- Enable healthcare managers to better respond to current and emerging healthcare issues (cybersecurity, surge management, supply management). 
- Enable healthcare workers to effectively plan, deliver, monitor, and evaluate digital health care approaches and their well-being and resilience through adaptation of digital skills. 
- Engage with regulatory authorities and professional associations to promote micro learning and credentials accreditation for the acquisition and recognition of digital skills.

Description

Results

Over the next 30 months the project will produce: 

  • A first-of-its-kind survey of the digital competences across the European Union.   
  • European training modules developed through a co-creation process, addressing the needs of multiple disciplines for hospital doctors, nurses, and non-clinical staff. 
  • Micro credentials leveraging and adapting an established framework for DDS-MAP.
  • Augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR) platform leveraging expertise within DDS-MAP.
