XiA Educathon will take place in Pisa during the Hospitals on FHIR User Days from 20-21 October 2026.
The educathon format is central to the spirit of XiA (Europe’s Xpanding Innovative Alliance). In healthcare, hackathons help develop solutions, and connectathons help test interoperability. The XiA educathon brings the education dimension into this culture of practice. It creates a space where participants can work on interoperability-related learning challenges, explore practical scenarios, test ideas, and connect education with implementation.
20 October – i2Xathon Implementation Exchange & Setup
The first day will focus on implementation exchange, technical discussions, and environment setup, giving partners the opportunity to share experiences, prepare their systems, and ensure everything is ready for testing.
21 October – i2Xathon Testing Day
The second day is dedicated to the i2Xathon—a full day of collaborative testing across the five EEHRxF priority categories:
- Patient Summary
- ePrescription
- Laboratory Results
- Discharge Reports
- Medical Imaging
Partners will validate and exchange FHIR-based health data, perform end-to-end interoperability testing, and gather valuable implementation insights. Whether a site demonstrates a complete workflow or validates a smaller implementation milestone, every contribution helps strengthen the collective effort towards interoperable digital health across Europe.
In parallel, i2X will also host HoF Session 11 – "i2X and FHIR: EEHRxF IG Adoptions, Challenges and the i2Xathon", where project partners will share their experiences, challenges, and progress with the wider FHIR community—creating an important bridge between implementation, collaboration, and knowledge sharing.
This October 2026 event will help:
- Activate the Italian ecosystem.
- Bring together stakeholders around real learning needs.
- Collect targeted feedback on XiA themes and outputs.
More information will be shared soon.
