6th Meeting of the eHealth DSI – eHMSEG Monday, 6 March 2017, 10:00–16:30 CEST

Meeting Minutes Version 1.0, 26/04/2017

1. Welcome and Introduction

The meeting was opened by Juergen Wehnert and chaired by him and Vanja Pajić. Tapani

Piha informed about additional Commission support to the eHDSI project, Aurelien PEREZ

and Jean-Marie MISZTELA joined the eHDSI team. Aurelien PEREZ is team leader for

eHDSI Policy Link team in B3 and Jean-Marie MISZTELA is Portfolio Manager in A4

responsible for implementation of eHDSI.

Agenda was approved by the members of the meeting.

2. Declaration of Interests

No declaration of interest was stated.

3. Adoption of the minutes of the previous meeting

Minutes of the 5th

eHMSEG meeting on 1 of December 2016 were approved.

4. Matters arising (review of actions from previous meetings)

Tapani Piha provided the review of eHMSEG Action list. Points which are not part of the

agenda were discussed further.

MS shared their experience with the national cooperation between eP/PS services and EESSI.

EESSI has similar challenges as eHDSI but very different technical solutions.

Commission will provide the KPI values as soon as possible.

MS organized the first meeting of the countries which will go live with ePrescription in 2018

in Stockholm in February, and are planning to meet another time. A similar meeting is

considered highly useful for the Patient Summary first wavers. Commission supported this

united initiative and asked for a brief report from the ePrescription meeting.

5. CEF 2017 – Coordinated application process

Tapani Piha presented the timeline for call for grants from CEF WP 2017. The call will be

launched in May 2017 and closed in September 2017. This call is especially for the new MS

joining the eHDSI. MS may apply for adding additional services to what they are funded until

now. However, a ceiling applies for the funding per MS. As in the previous call the

Commission encourages MS to use the common application template. The Commission will

organize a preparatory meeting for MS interested in applying for funds in this call. MS had a

roundtable where they shared info about their plans to participate in next call.

The next call is planned for 2019 where the new use cases for eHDSI will be promoted. The

extent of new use cases will be further discussed. The epSOS use cases might be used or the

Patient Summary data set extension for specific diseases (part of the guidelines for Patient

Summaries).

6. SNOMED CT Report on discussions progress, timeline, implications

Tapani Piha updated MS about the negotiations with SNOMED International. The original

plan was that the Commission would enter into an agreement with IHTSDO, which would

have granted all Member States the right to use a limited subset of SNOMED CT terms for

Page 6: 20160923 eHMSEG Meeting Annotated agenda · 2017-07-13 · 39 SPAIN VARELA Celia CV Ministerio de Sanidad, Servicios Sociales e Igualdad Project Manager Yes 40 SWEDEN ANDERSSON Hans

6th Meeting of the eHealth DSI – eHMSEG 6 March 2017

Meeting Minutes Version 1.0, 26/04/2017

6

the eHealth DSI. This plan could not be put into practice; thus the following proposal seeks

for a solution for the use of SNOMED CT within the eHDSI by countries which are not

members of SNOMED International.

Therefore, SNOMED International and the Commission agreed that countries which are not

members of SNOMED International should obtain a SNOMED CT Affiliate License, which

will permit the use of the full content of the International Release limited to eHDSI

operations, i.e., to the National Contact Point for eHealth (NCPeH) and the display of clinical

information to the healthcare professionals. The cost of obtaining the Affiliate Licence should

be eligible within the project.

France: Take note of the proposal, which is not welcome after 2 years' time without progress

and no alternative proposal from the Commission. That is one of the reason why during

summer 2017 FR will share its study about the use of SNOMED CT and /or ICD-11.

SK: Invites MS to join the EXPO in October 2017 which will be organized in Bratislava. One

of the topics will be outcomes of the project Access CT, SNOMED International will also

participate.

DE: Takes note of the proposal, which is not welcomed, since the Commission has promised a

different solution. The first assessment is that this will create additional project risk for DE.

Raises an issue of what will happen when a country is not able to use SNOMED CT

terminology, and asks to keep the possibility open to use another European solution.

LU: Raised awareness that this solution may have extra implications on the national level.

CH: Countries should report how they deal with this issue. Coordination and common action

is needed.

Conclusion: Semantic group in cooperation with Solution Provider will assess how to address

the implications of the use of affiliate licence of SNOMED, such as possible saving coded

information.

7. eHMSEG Update

7.1 Task Force on Semantics

Hans Andersson updated on the actions undertaken by the Task Force on Semantics. The

purpose of the Task Force is to target real problems and the need for change of semantic

assets and to capture requirements for processes and eHDSI specifications posed on the

semantic assets (legal, organizational, architectural). The better understanding of the

requirements is needed to propose maintenance procedures for the semantic assets and to

enable the proposal of changes by providing a clear understanding of legal constraints, roles

and responsibilities, and best practices. Task Force prepared the broad document called

"Semantic Assets rationale for Maintenance and Evolution under the eHDSI time frame".

The eHDSI Semantic Boot Camp will take place 14-15 March in Brussels. The purpose of the

event is to raise NCPeH National Architects awareness on the semantic challenges and

leverage countries readiness levels towards the deployment of Cross-Border eHealth

information Services as foreseen in the eHealth DSI.

Vanja Pajić raised two issues. The first concerns the semantic problem which the

implementing directive (2012/52/EU) in the perspective of handling of substitution is posing

for cross-border exchange of ePrescriptions in CEF. The second concerns "The Commitment

of the European Commission to deliver the Core Services for eHealth Digital Service

Infrastructure". According to the group working on the multi-lateral agreement, the

Commission should be also the contracting party.

Tapani Piha explained that it is not possible for the Commission to become a contracting party

in this kind of agreement. The Commission's spending and actions are controlled and assessed

by horizontal internal mechanisms, such as the Court of Auditors. The Commission has

financial and political responsibility towards MS, and these are not only expressed in the

Commitment document, sent by the Chair of the eHOMB to the Chair of the eHMSEG, but

also in the annual work plan approved by the eHealth Network. The most binding document

however is the Annual Work Plan for the CEF, which after the positive opinion of the

Member States in the Telecoms Committee is approved by the College of Commissioners.

8. CEF Building Blocks

8.1 eDelivery

DG DIGIT presented the current state of play regarding the eDelivery (SML/SMP) features.

The work is on track. eDelivery team delivered what was agreed upon with the OpenNCP

community. Currently eHealth community needs to test the integration of eDelivery in the

OpenNCP. eDelivery team remains fully available to support and assist eHealth community

during the integration testing phase.

Complementing this status, eHDSI Solution Provider added (in meeting minutes) that the

change Proposal regarding the adoption of the SML/SMP has been approved by eHOMB

(2017-02-22) and is currently under implementation.

8.2 eID

DG DIGIT updated on the actions regarding the feasibility study. The study is in the second

phase, where situation in an additional 22 MS is analysed, and an extended analysis is

provided for 10 MS. The updates regarding the implementation of eIDAS nodes by the

Member States and availability of eID schemes were shared with the participants. Progress

linked to the implementation of NCPeH was also communicated.

So far, DG DIGIT received 14 answers to the survey shared with the MS representatives in

the eHealth and eID domain: BE, BG, CY, CZ, DE, EE, ES, IE, LT, MT, NL, SI, SK, UK.

Already 4 interviews have been organized with DE, ES, EE and CZ.

As part of this data collection, several issues have been raised and will be further analysed:

Alternative scenario without the involvement of country B node.

Voluntary use of non-notified eID schemes.

Specificities linked to regionalised healthcare and eID systems.

Page 8: 20160923 eHMSEG Meeting Annotated agenda · 2017-07-13 · 39 SPAIN VARELA Celia CV Ministerio de Sanidad, Servicios Sociales e Igualdad Project Manager Yes 40 SWEDEN ANDERSSON Hans

Meeting Minutes Version 1.0, 26/04/2017

Coverage of the population (Health beneficiaries ≠ eID card holders).

Profiling linked to the use of a single number across sectors/countries.

Ability to read foreign eIDs at the point of care.

It was noted that the abovementioned list of issues is a work in progress and additional topics

might be added following further discussions with Member States representatives.

The next steps regarding the completion of the feasibility by May 2017 are:

Collecting the answers to the survey from the remaining 8 MS to identify the current

situation for eHealth Use Cases and eID vis-à-vis the scenarios identified so far.

Organising in-depth interviews with 6 MS (incl. FR and NL).

Welcoming MS feedback on the Phase I report in order to integrate comments,

suggestions and concerns to the final Phase II report.

Providing recommendations for the use of eID for eHealth based on the identified

scenarios across MS.

8.3 Member States eID status (results of eID WS in Berlin, roundtable)

Jürgen Wehnert updated about the JAseHN eID Workshop which took place on 31 January

2017 in Berlin. The objective was to find a way forward concerning eID by sharing expertise

and sketching a composition of next steps on the basis of a common understanding. This

resulted in a revised concept and scope for JAseHN Deliverable 5.2.1 eID framework for

eHealth. D5.2.1 will include in a two-step approach: the up-to-date situation on eID, a

roadmap of actions and next steps as well as known concerns, challenges and, where

applicable, recommendations and requirements. It will show the boundaries of eID without

limiting the scope of technical options. The eID framework will initially only consider and

thus apply to the Patient Summary and ePrescription/eDispensation use case. The workshop

focused on JAseHN’s deliverable D5.2.1 eID framework for eHealth and made it the priority

of the workshop. After the initial D5.2.1 presentation to the eHN meeting May 2017 an

update will be provided for the next eHN meeting in November 2017. This will not cause any

constraints as there will be no eID features in the NCP release for the first wave. Presentations

on Health Professional Registries were not held in the workshop but acknowledged and

shared within JAseHN. It was unfortunate situation that the eHDSI Solution Provider couldn't

participate in the workshop, JAseHN Deliverable 5.2.1 consist of technical and economic

analyses of the NCPeH as well as the eID implementation scenarios being identified as tasks

for the eHDSI Solution Provider.

8.4 Next steps: eSIG, TestaNG

The update on eSignature was not provided.

DG DIGIT presented the update on the progress on TestaNG. The initial findings on the

feasibility study look promising. Experts assessed TestaNG positively, as it fits well the

current specifications. One of diagnosed challenges will be to replace the IPSec VPNs by a

Testa VPN. There are still some more deep considerations ongoing on how it may affect all

the information exchange but no show stoppers were identified so far.

Page 9: 20160923 eHMSEG Meeting Annotated agenda · 2017-07-13 · 39 SPAIN VARELA Celia CV Ministerio de Sanidad, Servicios Sociales e Igualdad Project Manager Yes 40 SWEDEN ANDERSSON Hans

Meeting Minutes Version 1.0, 26/04/2017

Some MS welcome this change since it deals with one of the most problematic aspects of the

current specifications (the IPSec based VPN between NCPeH). A MS raised concerns

regarding the possibility of using TESTA when the hosting organisation of the NCPeH is not

a public administration organisation connected to the Testa national coordinator (it is a private

organisation). DIGIT explained that it is an internal matter for the MS how they implement

the system and should not pose any problems. If the national connection exists, then simply

routing and if not, a turnkey solution exists.

FI noted that EESSI uses TESTA and for them using TESTA also for eHDSI is easy but not

possible to implement in the Wave 1 but only later.

Further actions are needed to understand the current state of play in each MS (e.g. who is the

NCPeH and if it can be connected through the Testa national coordinator; what is the current

state of the Testa node in each country). There is a need to design and conduct a Proof of

Concept between some of the more advanced countries in this topic, to sustain with evidence

the conclusions of the feasibility study.

9. Operations - Arrangements

9.1 Templates for Plan and Reports

Tapani Piha presented the updated template scheme for plans, reports and other documents.

The templates for Deployment Plan and Progress Project Report were already circulated to

MS. Licinio Kustra Mano informed MS that Solution Provider is currently finalizing the

Deployment Guide which also will be circulated to MS.

MS welcomed provided templates. They repeated the necessity to use common templates for

reporting. MS asked to prolong the deadline to submit the Deployment Plan to INEA.

Commission promised to discuss with INEA the extension of deadline (end of April 2017)

and the provision of clear information what INEA expects for the deployment plan.

9.2 Key Performance Indicators – MS Services Uptime

Tapani Piha informed that the set of Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for eHDSI, discussed

at the eHMSEG, was adopted by the eHOMB. The adopted KPI are related to the plans and

performance of eHDSI Core Services. At the same time, he stressed the importance to provide

the KPI-5 Uptime also for Generic Services. This would give us a real picture of service level

for citizens of the Cross-Border eHealth Information Services. This would need collecting

information on the uptime (availability) of the generic services, hosted by National Contact

Points for eHealth in Member States.

The idea was approved by MS, which asked the Solution Provider to prepare the exact

definition of what needs to be provided, such as when the service is not provided 24/7.

9.3 Audit Framework

eHDSI Solution Provider explained the composition of Audit Framework and its current

preparedness. The final proposal for the Audit Framework will be available by the end of

Page 10: 20160923 eHMSEG Meeting Annotated agenda · 2017-07-13 · 39 SPAIN VARELA Celia CV Ministerio de Sanidad, Servicios Sociales e Igualdad Project Manager Yes 40 SWEDEN ANDERSSON Hans

March. Audit Framework consists of the Audit Scope, Audit Tools, Audit Readiness Criteria,

and Readiness Criteria evaluation and valuation methods.

The Solution Provider explained that the documents circulated were not yet final versions for

the adoption but the Audit Framework needs to be aligned with JAseHN draft Policy Paper

D5.6.1 and the comments provided by the Audit Taskforce need to be implemented.

The Readiness Check List requires further collaboration with the Audit Taskforce to integrate

all requirements: Legal, Business, Semantics, Operations and Services, and Security.

JAseHN coordinator raised the issue of former JAseHN’s technical annexes handed over to

the Solution Provider but still planned to be adopted by the eHN, and the fact that they are

now presented as being parts of Solution Provider’s deliverables without a transparent review

process from the MS.

Tapani Piha explained that the transfer of the technical annexes to the Solution Provider was

the decision of the 10th

eHealth Network meeting. He also mentioned that eHMSEG is

appointed by the Member States. eHMSEG agreed that after adjustments by the Solution

Provider, the Audit Framework will be send into adoption in written procedure which will last

2 weeks.

9.4 Test Framework (MS information)

eHDSI Solution Provider explained the current state of Test Framework by providing a global

overview on its phases that will be presented in the Test Framework to be released by end of

March. The Test Framework phases explain the role of the Technical Boot-Camp (Jan-2017)

and IHE CAT (Apr-2017), in perspective with the mandatory test events that will start in

June.

Below there is a list of actions and events connected to the Test Framework:

Alignment with Audit Framework, prior the release (end of March 2017).

IHE CAT will take place in April 2017 (participation is up to MS).

Preparation of the Pre-Production Testing (June 2017).

Pre-Production Testing (September 2017).

9.5 Change Proposals procedure (6 months' review and continuation)

Licinio Kustra Mano presented the review of Change Proposal procedure. The review was

provided according to the decision of eHMSEG that the procedure should be assessed after 6

months of its adoption in September. During this time the strengths and parts for improvement

were identified. Generally, the workflow fulfils its purpose and allows: the end-to-end change

request, providing assessments and consolidation and validation for the implementation.

In MS opinion Change Proposal procedure is working well. The new procedure was adopted

with remarks (it means that it should now be run as Routine Operations while in the past it

was running on trial base). There were two remarks pointed out:

To consider adding a Pre-Stage (a placeholder) for Change Proposals where the

requesters have identified a root-cause for a change proposal, but need support from

other stakeholders to prepare the CP content.

There might be cases where the "Assess Operational Impact" analysis step performed

by MS may take longer than 2 weeks (the default time). When that happens, MS may

request more time for the analysis. Only one extension shall be granted.

eHDSI Solution Provider presented the Status Report for January-February 2017, highlighting

some concerns regarding Operations Management and Human Resources. Some specific

skills lack within the team, which is slowing down the progress in some activities. The

Quality Assurance procedures lack some expertise hampering the beta release at the end of

March. The vacant Portfolio Manager function was filled on 1 March, which will strengthen

and speed up the work of the team.

The eHDSI Solution Provider also presented a short report on the meaningful outcomes from

the eHDSI Boot-Camp (technical achievements and ramp-up phenomenon) as well as

highlighted the April IHE CAT as an opportunity for MS to accelerate and raise their

readiness levels regarding the NCPeH technical gateway.

10.2 Release plan (MS information)

The eHDSI Solution Provider informed about the release plan of major deliverables at the end

of March. The artefacts contain frameworks, specifications, software and websites. They will

be made available at the end of March and will be in Public Beta for 2 months. During the

Public Beta, the only changes possible in artefacts are fixes and corrections. No new features

or content will be added, for sake of stability and routine operations readiness. This would

mean that in the beginning of June 2017, eHDSI Solution Provider will be able to publish the

eHDSI Wave 1 – Operation ready artefacts.
