We welcome you to the digital competences map for healthcare professionals in which you will find a set of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that allow the comprehensive use of digital technology safely and efficiently to fulfil your tasks as a professional of the Catalan Healthcare System.

What is the digital competences map for healthcare?

It is a collection of specific digital competences for healthcare professionals with the aim of situating and guiding them regarding which digital competences must be developed to practice their profession safely, civilly, and critically when faced by the digital transformation in the healthcare industry.

Where does it come from?

This map was completed as a continuation of Grup 4’s work from the Fòrum de Diàleg professional (Professional Dialogue Forum): ‘To improve upon ICT competences amongst healthcare professionals, to further ICT use that humanises on-site care, and to advance the design of off-site care.’
