Q-REC

Q-REC is a Specific Support Action and its main objective is to develop formal methods and to create a mechanism for the quality labelling and certification of Electronic Health Record systems in Europe, in primary- and in acute hospitalcare settings.

The main objective of Q-REC is to create an efficient, credible and sustainable mechanism for the certification of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems in Europe by addressing mainly:
1. EHR Systems Quality Labelling and Certification Development, thereby:

  • producing a State of the Art Report on EHR Certification Schemas as already implemented in at least three European countries;
  • performing a Pan European Requirements Assay;
  • proposing a profiling and classification system for EHRs to be certified;
  • harmonising the EHR-Certification Procedures at a European level;
  • drafting the Certification Guidelines and Procedures (inc. Legal);
  • planning future Pilot Implementations.
2. Resources for EHR Interoperability, including:
  • the inventory of Conformance Criteria and Guidance Documents for obtaining EHR Certification;
  • an inventory and guidelines for EHR Archetypes;
  • the registration of Coding Schemes in Europe (as mandated by CEN/TC 251);
  • an inventory of existing and relevant EHR standards;
  • an inventory of XML schemas and Open Source components for EHRs.
3. Benchmarking Services:
  • defining the Formal Test Plans for EHR Certification;
  • preparing the Business Plan for EHRCertification related Services.
