1. Introduction to the EuroRec Services
- Origin
Several EU member states have already proceeded with EHRs quality labelling and/or certification, more often in primary care,
but these differ in scope, in legal framework under which they operate, in policies and organisation, and perhaps most importantly
in the quality and conformance criteria used for benchmarking.
Business cases:
- A purchaser wishing to procure an EHR system module
- An e-Health programme wishing to ensure consistent
EHR system functionality nationally
- A vendor wishing to (re-)develop an EHR system module
or to document his system
- Developers wishing to interface to a given EHR system
module across multi-vendor systems
- All may be:
- seeking design guidance
- wishing to obtain quality labelling certification
- searching for trustworthy products
- Objective
To develop formal methods and to create a mechanism
for the quality labelling and certification of EHR systems
in Europe, in primary- and in acute hospital-care settings.
