eHealth Standardization Coordination Group

The eHSCG is a platform to promote stronger coordination amongst the key players in all technical areas of e-health standardization. The group is a place for exchange of information and will work towards the creation of cooperation mechanisms to:

  • Identify areas where further standardization is required and try to identify responsibilities for such activities;
  • Provide guidance for implementations and case studies;
  • Consider the requirements for appropriate development paths for health profiles of existing standards from different sources in order to provide functional sets for key health applications;
  • Support activities to increase user awareness of the existing standards, and case studies.
