Roadmap for standardization on AHA facing 2020
Tentative prioritization of the different proposals
Very high priority proposals (*****)
The following proposals have been identified, due to the factors indicated above, as top priority ones. The relevant European Standardization Organizations (or, if relevant, International Standardization Organizations), should be asked to launch them between January and June 2017.
- Establishment of a structured horizontal coordination of AHA standardization.
- Increase the coordination and synergies between the European Standardization Organizations (CEN, CENELEC and ETSI) and the International Standardization Organizations (ISO, IEC and ITU), taking advantage of their collaboration agreements, such as the Vienna Agreement.
- Reinforcement of the cooperation between the ESOs and the SDOs on Health Informatics Standardization.
- General semantic interoperability (further comprehensive mapping between the main standards on medical records, disease classification, clinical coding/terminology and electronic health information).
- Semantic interoperability: Cross-border interoperability of electronic health record systems.
- Semantic interoperability: Standardized patient and user-generated health data, able to be captured and acted upon in a meaningful way.
- Semantic interoperability: Adherence use case.
- Semantic interoperability: Falls risk use case.
- Semantic interoperability: Risk categories for frailty use case.
- Technical interoperability: Compatibility between standards based on different principles (e.g., EN ISO 13606/HL7 RIM)
- Technical interoperability: Complement EN ISO/IEEE 11073 series to include short range RF devices.
- Technical interoperability: Development of interoperability standards for Internet of Things.
- Data privacy protection and security of patient and user-generated health and care data
