Agenda Background Objective Key Interoperability Layers Role of the SDO platform Next Steps 21/04/15 41
Background (1/2) In the last ehn meeting (November) the Commission proposed to have an active involvement of the Standard Developing Organisations (SDOs) and standard profiling organisations in the new Joint Action (JA2). It was concluded that: The ehealth Network will take a role in planning future EU standardisation activities for ehealth, and welcomed the involvement of CEN, as well as other standardisation organisations, in the new joint action. The option of starting a standardisation process of specific elements of the 21/04/15 42
Background (2/2) For the advancement of ehealth in Europe, as stimulated and ratified by the ehealth Network (ehn), standards are an essential asset for the achievement of these goals. This is true for national and regional projects within the MS, but even more essential for cross border interoperability, in order to bridge the differences between the MS. The playing field of standards in ehealth, however, is complex due to several reasons, amongst which: The building of ehealth solutions requires concerted action on several different abstractions layers. There are many different standards development organisations (SDOs), with partially overlapping areas of interest 21/04/15 43
Objective ehn JA (D5.4.1) The overall goal of the platform could be formulated as: Provide a one-stop shop to the ehn, where the ehn can ask questions and stimulate actions, which will be picked up in a concerted manner by all SDOs involved, with as the main outcome solutions which are strongly supported by stakeholders, have the necessary legal and formal embedding, and are free of gaps, and free of ambiguities due to overlaps. 21/04/15 44
Value proposition (D5.4.1) The added value of the new ehn JA SDO platform for the ehn would be: To assist the ehn in the coherent decision making process regarding ehealth (related) standards at the EU and International level, To advise and support the ehn in initiating standardisation projects and actions that would and could stimulate adoption of standards and (cross border) interoperability in the ehealth domain. To stimulate the ehn to act as the demand party regarding the development and implementation of International and European standards and to provide the possibility of influencing the development of standards (supply site) in the ehealth domain. This platform should consist all the relevant SDOs that are significantly involved and effective in providing ehealth interoperability across Europa and Internationally. 21/04/15 45
Starting principles The platform should enable consistent and coherent SDO support to the ehn based on the ReEIF framework; avoid gaps and overlaps. The output of the platform must be in alignment with the EU ehealth standardisation policy must aim for the objectives in the ehn MAW 2015-2018 must provide maximum transparency in the underlying procedures and methodologies. The output of the platform should reflect the formal positions of the SDOs (i.e. the input of the them into the platform should be represent the official opinion of the SDO). 21/04/15 46
Starting principles It is necessary that the work of platform is based on a realistic, pragmatic and financially achievable perspective regarding developing, adopting, promoting and implementing standards and realization of interoperability. It should closely cooperate with the European Commission and Multi Stakeholder Platform regarding standardisation actions funded in the Annual Union Workplan and the Rolling Plan for ICT standardisation society-broad. The platform must strive for transparent alignment between the National, European and International SDOs and their policymaking bodies. 21/04/15 47
Starting principles The formal role of CEN, as one of the three formal European Standards Organisations, in the platform should further be brought to value. It should support the stakeholders in the ehn JA representing the demand site in formulating their standardisation needs for the advancement of interoperability. The platform should first act and prove its additional value in the ehn JA (2015-2018) but must be set up in the light of a sustainable ehealth SDO platform after the duration of the ehn JA. The management of the new platform should be placed in a team formed at least by CEN and a rotating Member State Competence Centre 21/04/15 48

Role of the SDO platform Legal and regulatory: here we do not see any action needed from the SDO platform under ehn. Policy: this is the main area of interest for the ehn itself, which has an interest and a need for standards. Care processes: this is the place where guidelines are usually developed for health professionals on how to act in a specific care situation. In standards developing, on this abstraction layer use cases are described as the standard care process expected, on which the other standards must provide an answer. Information: This is the abstraction layer for the description of the information (structure, coding, content) needed in the specific care process / use case. This is described agnostic of implementation. 21/04/15 51
Role of the SDO platform Applications: this is the layer of health specific applications (EHRs, electronic prescription systems, apps, etc), which needs standards for the implementation of the information described in level 4. Especially interoperability requires much effort here: applications of totally different nature and origin (e.g. a hospital based HER and a community pharmacy based IT environment) must be brought to exchanging information in a meaningful way. IT infrastructure: this is in ReEIF the layer of not-healthcare specific technology: networks, web services, storage, etc. This is by definition not an area for development by the health sector, but the health sector has great interest in these developments as such, and for standards to be available timely and correctly for healthcare to use. 21/04/15 52
Next Steps Preparation phase for ehn JA task 5.4 members (May / June) Achieving a common knowledge base between the task 5.4 members Achieving a common understanding, perspective and expectation of the ehn JA task 5.4 and agreement on the task distribution and planning. Invite the SDO s for the ehn JA platform initiative (June) Organize a workshop to discuss and reflect on the proposal to initiate a (permanent) SDO platform To identify the position of the SDO s on the platform proposal, their terms of agreement and to seek broad support for the initiative. Request the invited and/or indicated SDO s to join the ehn JA SDO platform (Juli/Aug) Formally asked for their support for setting up this new platform. A letter of intent that reflect the common ambition, a solid basis for working out the governance of the platform and securing the expected output of the proposed SDO platform. 21/04/15 53
Next Steps Set up the governance model for the platform (Sept) To prepare the governance model of the platform. Construct final deliverable for ehn November 2015 (Okt) Prepare the final proposal for the new SDO platform (for decision). ehn decision on ehn JA SDO platform (Nov) In between Act as a platform under construction for the ehn JA (from the start) Function as a temporary platform for follow up on ehn JA actions related with this topic 21/04/15 54
