abstract

  • Digital transformation has profoundly impacted the healthcare sector, necessitating the reformulation of curricula in health professions. The EUproHealth 2021¿2027 plan underscores the importance of strengthening digital competencies among professionals. This systematic review analyzes the existing digital competence frameworks and highlights the lack of a specific European framework for the health sector. The findings suggest the need for a unified approach that addresses the current demands of digital competence in healthcare and facilitates a curricular reform aligned with emerging technological needs. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2026.
