Online Open Forum on ICT Standardization and eHealth

25 February 2010, 16:00-20:00 GMT.
Governments around the world hope that eHealth can contribute to increased safety, choice and productivity in the health care sector. While this overriding hopes are common, the approaches to eHealth differ.

This forum is devoted to several issues relating to the role of ICT standardization in healthcare:

  • How can ICT standardization best contribute to the development of eHealth services and systems?
  • What important lessons can be drawn from experiences around the world, including Europe and the USA?
  • To what extent should governments intervene in the standardization process to reach eHealth objectives?
  • Is it feasible that ICT standards enable patient choice and mobility; also across international borders?

The forum will be held in writing, starting on February 25th at 4 pm GMT (11 am Eastern, 8 am Pacific). The discussion will be built upon a handful of contributions which will be available on TalkStandards.com web site.
