Communication activities
We provide our members, mainly public healthcare organisations across Europe, with a platform (EHFCN powerhouse) to exchange information and tools, best practices and ideas. We also maintain a website where we share many information about our activities with the public audience.
We promote the development of common working standards through education and events (monthly webinars, workshops, Open houses and international conferences)
We represent our member organizations towards national, European and international organisations focusing in healthcare and/or in countering fraud and corruption and waste. We maintain a matrix system
EHFCN has activated a Working Group, which is aimed at healthcareprofessionals who are interested in new technologies (especially AI) for fraud detection, but also for tackling waste and corruption (for EHFCN Members)
Goal: map the existing AI technologies in healthcare fraud/waste detection & examine the potential implementation of AI fraud/waste detection in different healthcare systems.
