Objective
Q-REC describes a Specific Support Action for the Strategic Objective 2.4.11 "Integrated BioMedical Information for better Health" as addressed in Call 4 of the IST Programme. The project relates to the Action Plan of the eHealth Communication COM (2004) 356 by supporting mainly "4.2.5 Conformity testing and accreditation for an eHealth market" and "4.2.2.2: Interoperability of Electronic Health Records".
The main objective of Q-REC is to create an efficient, credible and sustainable mechanism for the certification of EHR systems in Europe by addressing mainly:
I.EHR Systems Quality Labelling and Certification Development, thereby:
1. producing a State of the Art Report on EHR-Certification Schemas as already implemented in at least three European countries;
2. performing a PanEuropean Requirements Assay;
3. proposing a profiling and classification system for EHRs to be certified;
4. harmonising the EHR-Certification Procedures at a European level;
5. drafting the Certification Guidelines and Procedures (inc. Legal);
6. planning future Pilot Implementations.
II.Resources for EHR Interoperability, including:
1. the inventory of Conformance Criteria and Guidance Documents for obtaining EHR Certification;
2. an inventory and guidelines for EHR Archetypes;
3. the registration of Coding Schemes in Europe (as mandated by CEN/TC 251);
4. an inventory of existing and relevant EHR standards;
5. an inventory of XML schemas and Open Source components for EHRs.
III.Benchmarking Services:
1. defining the Formal Test Plans for EHR-Certification;
2. preparing the Business Plan for EHR-Certification related Services.
The co-ordinating partner is the EuroRec Institute, which is the overarching network of already existing national ProRec centres and has the mission to promote high quality Electronic Health Record systems (EHRs) in Europe. The coordination with healthcare authorities will be reinforced through collaboration with the eHealth ERA Co-ordinating Action.
