- Abstract
This paper provides an overview on the standards that are used in eHealth in order to share and exchange medical data. The development of innovative solutions in eHealth and eAgeing and their adoption is dependent on the sharing of medical data in the health ecosystem. Therefore IT products used to support this ecosystem need to interoperate in a secured and safe manner. The corpus of standards at the international level is quite important but their deployments have proven more complex than expected. The obstacles of the diffusion of the standards are discussed and several possible solutions or recommendations are explored. For instance, the recognition of a set of standards-based integration profiles along with the supportive test tools at the European level gives direction to the suppliers and encourages them to adopt these profiles technical standards in their products. The usage of a European set of profiles by eHealth projects, be it national or regional in scope, will promote the interoperability harmonization among European countries and accelerate the delivery of quality and efficiency in the care processes.
