| PROJECT DESCRIPTION |
HEALTH-2009-3.2-4: Impact of cross border collaboration on health services. FP7-HEALTH-2009-single-stage.
The project idea stems from the need of managing the health data of the European citizen in terms of definition, transparency and transportability, according to the EC recommendation COM(2008)3282 'Cross-border interoperability of electronic health record systems'.
The main purpose of the project is to develop all the means to achieve and maintain interoperability in the cross-border environment for legitimate medical and healthcare purposes.
The objective is the deployment of an interoperable e-health system that supports the free movement of people (patients and professionals) and favours the safety of travelling individuals across the borders of Europe.
The projects aims at achieving the harmonisation of essential medical information and the accessibility of this information to provide patients with more effective and efficient healthcare, by having timely and secure access to basic, and possibly vital, health information
The cross-border interoperability will be developed at four different levels: legal, organisational, technical, and semantic.
A central issue in these developments is represented by the EHR that can be one of the most significant examples of interoperability.
The project activities should aim at developing interoperable cross-border networked systems and services that cover the entire continuum of healthcare and that are underpinned by the appropriate legal, regulatory, medical and care requirements. This includes a suitable, interoperable implementation of an EHR that can be read, filled and integrated by the users of the e-health system.
The developed system will be tested and validated by means of an experiment involving hospitals, located in the countries participating to the project, in situations reproducing faithfully the real-life conditions. In this way it will be possible to single out the actual drawbacks and difficulties in achieving interoperability and to devise the most effective ways to overcome them. |
