SESSIONS
The European Commission has given a mandate to the three European Standards Organizations – CEN, CENELEC and ETSI – for the development of standards to achieve eHealth interoperability. In 2008 the eHealth-INTEROP project team executed phase 1 of mandate M/403 with the purpose to develop a work programme to be executed in phase 2. In anticipation of the approval of the report to phase 1, we seek to charter the proposed activities. Maintenance and development of standards need to be embedded in a use case driven process. That is even more so important for this mandate in order to address the perceived failure of ESOs to deliver what is needed in time. The epSOS and Calliope projects are vital in this approach. We have discussed the proposal, the estimated budget and scenario’s for funding with representatives of the main stakeholders in the eHealth domain. The presentation will address:
- Where epSOS, Calliope and the mandate M/403 have links
- Estimated budgets and funding scenario’s as well as results of the discussion with the stakeholders;
- The importance of coordination at member state level;
- The relevance of the proposed methodology in assessing the role of (industry) fora and consortia to the formal process of European standards development.
