Abstract:
Citizen mobility and borderless care are key European Union policy priorities, which are supported by the European eHealth Action Plan. While healthcare is being thoroughly transformed, proper interoperability measures have to assure that patient information in digital form is at least as accessible and usable as paper based data. On this, health policy makers, health professionals, healthcare providers and the IT-industry have to work hand in hand to assure the meaningful and secure exchange of medical data.
The i2-health project, supported by both the European Commission and the Member State health Authorities, identifies requirements and will submit recommendations for the deployment of interoperable eHealth infrastructures and services for trans-European use through the definition of a generic eHealth interoperability framework and common approaches to a) patient/professional identifiers and b) ePrescribing and health data messages.
It reviews existing approaches and pilot solutions, analyse use cases, performs need and gap analyses, and develops a concrete work plan towards a pan-European solution. i2-Health calls on all the relevant stakeholders to join forces. It is an initiative funded by the eTEN Programme of the EC.
