Dear all, Today the final draft of the eHealth-INTEROP Report in response to EU Mandate/403-2007 was published. The report can be downloaded from: http://www.ehealth-interop.nen.nl/ Comments and suggestions to this document can be made to NEN untill october 22th.
Scope: The European Commission has issued in 2007 a mandate to the European Standardization Organizations (ESOs), CEN, CENELEC, and ETSI, to develop a coordinated work programme for standardization in health informatics (Mandate M/403). A Coordination Group of the three ESOs has been established to collaborate on the preparation of the 10 work programme in consultation with other activities as appropriate; the detailed process is contained in the technical proposal for the work, at Annex A. The above-mentioned work programme will be provided in the form of an overview report analysing existing work and requirements and contain a list of proposed work items for possible standards action. The resulting report will be submitted to the European Commission as required by the mandate for 15 approval and subsequent execution by the three ESOs as phase 2 of the mandate. Objective The objective [...] is to carry out phase one of the European Commission (EC) Mandate M/403 by providing an analysis and planning of existing relevant standards, specifications and technical reports (with short descriptions), including work under way, and the creation of a proposed coordinated work 20 programme for standardization in health informatics (eHealth) to be carried out by CEN, CENELEC and ETSI. This programme will cover tasks needed to achieve the goals with priorities to be identified for those deliverables that require an earlier adoption.......... Priority 1: resolve the inconsistencies, or at least facilitate co-existence, between standards based on fundamentally different principles (e.g. Electronic Records exchange formats using either CEN 13606 or HL7 RIM based documents); Since, in my opinion, this document will become the roadmap for e- health interoperability in Europe, it's important to understand it's implications and if these aren't defined well enough to provide input/ comments in order to make it better. So please read it carefully and if you have any comments and/or suggestions please send them either directly to NEN (shirin.golyardi at nen.nl) or through me. If you do, please send a CC to this list, so everybody can follow this discussion. Cheers, Stef -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
