Please use this thread to tell others what you'd like to hack on.

Agentic Patient Access I'd like to explore whether we could repeat what the Danes have done with the Dhroxy (see https://github.com/orgs/c3po-initiative/repositories ) in Finland with the Kanta patient portal. I nominate @Jens Villadsen to lead the track.

Comparing national and EU base profiles I volunteer to lead a track on verifying how compatible the national base profiles are with the EU base / core profiles.

Nordic Terminology Server I'd like to explore how Sensotrend's apps could utilize the Nordic terminology server with translations of codes - at build time. I'd be interested in exploring how to feed all data from the Finnish code server to the Nordic FHIR terminology server.
Jens Villadsen Feb 23, 2026, 09:20 PM
Sure!
Mattias Colliander Feb 23, 2026, 09:50 PM
That's fantastic! People agreeing to random stuff without demanding any info up front... that's hero level bravery :D

Quick info resulting from good discussions at todays Nordics on FHIR call: the preliminary plan is to do the hackathon on May 8, the friday (Vitalis ends on the tursday which is also the FHIR track day). Two reasons: friday, yay! Also, for those who come to Vitalis mainly for the FHIR track, having the hackathon on an adjacent days makes it possible to get a lot of FHIR bang for your travel bucks.

Ive allerede the Danish core IG to rely on the NPU of the EU/Nordics tx'es. Does it come with translations in the expansions as well because I dont see any in https://build.fhir.org/ig/hl7dk/dk-core/branches/3.6.0/ValueSet-dk-core-NPUBasicObservation.html#expansion

I nominate Jens Villadsen to lead the track. For the 'roxy'-track, attendees needs to bring two things. A link to their favourite portal which isnt already on FHIR and an AI tool to which they have a license. Everything else we should be able to do at the hackathon

Could be because the version is not stated and as it finds one in THO too, it considers it the default and does not go searching further. If you state the version, it should keep looking. If you don't want to state the version, it will be tricky, I think.

The Swedish Medical Products Agency might have an API or a data file that we could set on FHIR, as an exercise in mapping proprietary data structures to FHIR. Just like we did with OKT in the Norwegian hackathon. @Mattias Colliander , any suggestions? Other than that, I'd be happy to hack on some CDS Hooks use case, or CQL, with others interested in clinical reasoning or decision support.
Michael Johansen Feb 25, 2026, 01:14 PM
I support your suggestion Adam, and think that decision support may have the interest of many. In Helsinki the careplan use case was focusing on clinical reasoning, and the next step for the xShare project will be planed outside this hackathon, expected during april. There will be an overlap between these use cases, as both use CQL, so lets share knowledge, but not combine the two topics in the same day.
Michael Johansen Feb 25, 2026, 01:17 PM
Four good topics already, how wonderful

Mikael Rinnetmäki said : Nordic Terminology Server I'd be interested in exploring how to feed all data from the Finnish code server to the Nordic FHIR terminology server. I'd be interested in this exercise, but knowing exactly what it takes and having done that in Estonia, I would say we can try with 10-20 handpicked lists. Automation needs some manual preparation work to make sure all metadata exists, and verifying the result is also quite time-consuming. Finnish code lists include loads of information that need to be defined as properties (often of type Coding, so the linked code system should also exist) or extensions (in which case you never know if you can retrieve it later in the value set expansion). I have not tried your API, so maybe you have things in better shape than we did, but there's loads to discuss. :)

@Rutt Lindström Out of curiosity, how did your Estonian code system migration project handle "excel cells" containing list of values expressed as a single string (e.g. references to other codes) ? Including handling potential variance in delimiter conventions.

If you know what the values are and you know the delimiter, it's not a big problem. The problem is - you often only know it when you LOOK at the file, which means you have to define it somewhere for the script. We had a huge spreadsheet with all the additional information needed for the automated migration. If your starting point is an API, it might be easier and more under control. Our source was CSVs.

IHE Catalyst is interested in bringing the EHDS Online Testing tool to the hackathon and help people get started ensuring their implementations meet the requirements of the Euridice (HL7 Europe and IHE Europe) FHIR implementation guides for EHDS. This is also an opportunity to connect with large EHDS implementation projects sXhare, i2X, and MyHealth@MyHands. Please let us know if there is interest!
Mikael Rinnetmäki Mar 21, 2026, 03:00 PM
Great! This coul play well together with the national / EU profiles comparison track!
