In our work on building a process for the Community of Practice (CoP), we are facilitating the capability to identify, formulate and prepare to address a cross-border unmet need in the digital health and services area.

We would like to share the progress of our ongoing work with regard to identifying a cross-border digital unmet need. This is an ongoing work and we will continuously update our progress and findings.

• Process mapping -- Each site has mapped their regular approach to identify current unmet needs in their respective organization. The implications of local processes in terms of enabling/disabling HCP to interact with the CoP process is a major concern for the PIPPI CoP.
• Digital challenges -- A short-list of about 20 digital challenges has been identified. Among these, several common grounds have emerged. Initially some of the most significant to be identified are: interoperability, aggregation of data, and patient empowerment.
• Next steps -- The next step forward is to further detail and validate unmet needs with the experts and management in the respective sites, as well as with central stakeholders.
