eHealth Ontology Project has launched a Section which collects 22 Recommendations to the eHealth Standardization Bodies, all interested eHealth professional are welcome to rate and to comment all published Recommendations.
The main focus of this section is to provide recommendations and proposals for actions and initiatives in the area of standardization to enable health policies and strategies to be efficiently realised at local, regional, national and international levels. In particular, have been investigated extensions in the existing standardization efforts which should be recommended to Standards Development Organisations (SDOs), such as CEN TC 251, CEN/ISSS, HL7, ISO or IEEE.
Health informatics standards are essential to achieve the goals of eHealth in Europe for:
- interoperability between systems and patient information exchange between health organisations;
- market efficiency by providing increased understanding between all players in that market through a common technical framework and terminology for eHealth application development, procurement and implementation;
- meeting non-functional requirements to ensure safety, security and legal requirements e.g. protecting the privacy of the citizens;
- establishing a representative set of multinational interoperable, coordinated and open eHealth services based on a common business and service architecture;
- managing eHealth services.

About RIDE Project
RIDE is a roadmap project for interoperability of eHealth systems leading to recommendations for actions and to preparatory actions at the European level. This roadmap will prepare the ground for future actions as envisioned in the action plan of the eHealth Communication COM 356 by coordinating various efforts on eHealth interoperability in member states and the associated states. Since it is not realistic to expect to have a single universally accepted clinical data model that will be adhered to all over the Europe and that the clinical practice, terminology systems and EHR systems are all a long way from such a complete harmonization; the RIDE project address the interoperability of eHealth systems with special emphasis on semantic interoperability.
