In November 2015, there was an EC RFI on their draft document on 'disruptive innovation' <http://ec.europa.eu/health/expert_panel/consultations/disruptive_innovation_en.htm> put out, to which openEHR put together a response.
The new document <http://ec.europa.eu/health/expert_panel/opinions/docs/012_disruptive_innovation_en.pdf> and also the responses list <http://ec.europa.eu/health/expert_panel/consultations/docs/2016_results_disruptive_innovation_en.pdf> are now published. The openEHR responses are under my name (near the top), because the EC portal only handles person names (you'll see the same thing for all the other responses). Some of our recommendations were used in a very light way. Some of the other responses are interesting to read.
I don't know how much importance this kind of document has to us 'working on the ground', but some may find it interesting. In theory it would be used as a guide for determining where to invest EU e-health funds, but its level of abstraction and generality in most places, and then arbitrary selection of specifics make me think that it won't change much. Who knows - people who are closer to EC workings may care to comment.
