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.
