Standardization for eHealth got high priority in the European agenda
Main Article Content
Abstract
eHealth will provide people with better quality care, access to health information and health systems will be more efficient;
besides this, eHealth has also major business potential for industry; however, further market acceptance and trust in eHealth services will depend on the interoperability of the services and applications and protection of data protection. Safe and secure interoperability is a key to the faster adoption of ICT throughout the healthcare systems in Europe. European institutions believe that global standardization, based on consensus between all the relevant stakeholders, is the prerequisite to achieve eHealth interoperability. Standards are required that have been verified by consistent and coordinated interoperability testing. eHealth interoperability, within and among national, regional and global health systems became a major political priority. EUROPEAN COMMISSION addressed a Standardization mandate to European Commite for Standardization (CEN), European Commite for Electrotechnical Standards Institute(CENELEC) and European Telecommunications Standards Institute(ETSI) in the field of Information and Communication Technologies. The mandate asks to provide an analysis and planning of existing relevant standards and reports, including work under way, and the creation of a work programme for standardization in eHealth to be carried out by the three Standards Development Organization (SDOs). The work will take into account the published ETSI Special Report SR 002 564 (Applicability of existing ETSI and ETSI/3GPP deliverables to eHealth) produced by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Project eHEALTH.
