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.
1. The list of very high priority proposals feels relatively long, whilst the list of high priority proposals is relatively short.
2. We would suggest to focus on just a few proposals that are very high priority

General proposals
- 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.
I would be fine to include the W3C Consortium as International Standarization Organization, as well.

- Reinforcement of the cooperation between the ESOs and the SDOs on Health Informatics Standardization.
e-Health proposals
- General semantic interoperability (further comprehensive mapping between the main standards on medical records, disease classification, clinical coding/terminology and electronic health information).
I asume it will be considered to coordinate or use current standards on health data. (HL7, SNOMED, LOINC)

- 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.
We agree that this should be a very high priority.

- Semantic interoperability: Adherence use case.
- Semantic interoperability: Falls risk use case.
- Semantic interoperability: Risk categories for frailty use case.
Frailty and dependency scales and assessment should be par of the standardization

- Technical interoperability: Compatibility between standards based on different principles (e.g., EN ISO 13606/HL7 RIM)
We agree that this should be a very high priority.

Donna Henderson
- 02 Dec 2016 17:01
- Technical interoperability: Complement EN ISO/IEEE 11073 series to include short range RF devices.
- Technical interoperability: Development of interoperability standards for Internet of Things.
Maybe should be more appropiate to collaborate with existent workgroups in interoperability standards such as "Web of Things" instead of develop a brand new standard

is it possible to promote WHO methodology related to age-friendly cities and communities as a standard in the EU? otherwise, there will be plenty various "age-friendly" standards that will not fit to each other...

I believe environmental quality of spaces occupied by elderly people is of the utmost importance! It has not only a huge impact on their quality of life but also very big implications in terms of costs for the health care system. We can't forget how sensitive and frail many of us can be at this age and, thus, particular attention must be put on this issue!

I believe that an environment incorporating in its design principles the knowledge on human physiology and perception and especially the physiology and perception of people across the lifespan, where multi-morbidities such as frailty and Alzheimer’s might occur, is beneficial for all other aspects of care and everyday life and acts as their multiplier.

High priority proposals (****)
The following proposals have been identified, due to the factors indicated above, as high priority ones. The relevant European Standardization Organizations (or, if relevant, International Standardization Organizations), should be asked to launch them between July and December 2017.
We would like to suggest another topic for high priority - Accessibility of products and services under a Design for All approach. We need to be aligned with the BS 8878 Web accessibility Code of Practice.

Care and healthcare proposals
No care and healthcare proposals have been identified within this prioritization category.
We would like to suggest a new high priority proposal that focusses on merging or extending standards to support integrated health and social care. We have the impression that eHealth standards are focussed on the health domain, which is no surprise. However, in relation to the integrated care ambitions of Scotland, this leaves a gap when dealing with other types of datasets and different semantics related to social care and other services.

Donna Henderson

The above could be achieved by merging or extending other standards to encompass 'integrated health and social care'.

Independent living and age-friendly environments proposals
- Cognitive accessibility of ICT products and services- Accessibility of mobile applications
These are very relevant in the context of person centred care and the direction that we are taking in Scotland:
a. Cognitive accessibility of ICT products and services.
b. Accessibility and integration of mobile applications, including those that support independent living.

Medium priority proposals (***)
The following proposals have been identified, due to the factors indicated above, as medium priority ones. The relevant European Standardization Organizations (or, if relevant, International Standardization Organizations), should be asked to launch them between January and June 2018.
e-Health proposals
No e-Health proposals have been identified within this prioritization category.
Care and healthcare proposals
- Standardization of an integrated structure for care outside conventional care facilities
- Standardization of AHA management for rural populations taking advantage of intensive ICT use.
We are not convinced that this needs any standardisation. It is a question of making a good level of network connectivity available in remote and rural areas. The rest will then fall into place.

Donna Henderson
- 02 Dec 2016 17:37
- Standardization of professional qualifications for health professions in EU.
- Standardization of care interventions.
Absolutely support this topic (as stated previously). The more standardised care interventions the easier to adopt in a certain case of use
highlight this |
Joan Ignasi Martinez Roldán
- 06 Dec 2016 14:27
- Standardization of reporting adherence related.
- Standardization on the falls risk gerontological assessment.
- Standardization of an assessment of the protocols for rehabilitative interventions
- Standardization of fall prevention services.
It would be more appropriate to propose standardization of fall prevention practices, rather than services.
highlight this |
Persephone Doupi
- 07 Dec 2016 11:45
- Standardization of the assessment of the different dimensions of frailty.
Both assessment of the different dimensions of frailty and the next proposal on interventions for different frailty risk categories would be more appropriately placed at least as 'High' (if not very high) priorities, since frailty is a comprehensive measure of a person's health and well-being status.
highlight this |
Persephone Doupi
- 07 Dec 2016 11:52
- Standardization of the interventions to deploy to the different risk categories of frailty.
The transfer of knowledge and upscaling for frailty and fall-prevention through design technologies as well as the integration of healthcare facilities via holistic approaches is of great importance.

- Standardization of age-friendly transport (including accessibility).
Low priority proposals (**)
The following proposals have been identified, due to the factors indicated above, as low priority ones. The relevant European Standardization Organizations (or, if relevant, International Standardization Organizations), should be asked to launch them between July and December 2018.
e-Health proposals
- Quality criteria for the development of health and wellness apps (ongoing proposal within CEN/TC 251, still not developed).
We would recommend to elevate this to at least medium priority. Quality matters to get adoption and it would be good to have an off-the-shelf reference.

Donna Henderson
- 02 Dec 2016 17:37
Care and healthcare proposals
- Standardization of the quality of long-term care and social services for older people.
- Standardization of social care support and independent living (activity, diet, falls, safety).
We would suggest raising the profile of this proposal to at least medium. We should be more consistent with this support and not have citizens being disadvantaged by where they live.

Donna Henderson
- 02 Dec 2016 17:39
Completely agree with D. Henderson's comment. As it has been brought up in several points, the social care aspects need to be reflected on all levels - not just the healthcare perspective

- Standardization of education of AHA providers on good UX design, including accessibility aspects.
We would suggest to elevate this to a medium, or even high, priority given that we generally place a higher value on usability.

- Standardization of active (robotic) orthoses and prostheses, including wearable robots such as exoskeletons
- Standardization of fall prevention devices.

Independent living and age-friendly environments proposals
- Standardization on information and cognitive impairment
The formulation of this proposal is unclear. Does it mean standardization of information describing cognitive impairment or standardization of information to be provided e.g. to persons with cognitive impairment? Either way, it should be of higher priority.
