Advancing Trust in eHealth Interoperability: 

The Conformity Assessment Scheme for Europe (CASforEU)

Conference

November 21, 2018

Hotel Leopold

Brussels, Belgium

Introducing a consistent EU-wide interoperability testing scheme.

With so many Member State and regional eHealth projects and programmes in operation across Europe, ensuring interoperability among healthcare ICT systems is major challenge. This is why the EURO-CAS Project has developed the Conformity Assessment Scheme for Europe (CASforEU). It will allow the conformance of eHealth devices and IT systems with eHealth standards and profiles across different European countries to be demonstrated seamlessly, ensuring interoperability across borders and avoiding the costly and time consuming need for testing across different countries and regions.

During the conference the CASforEU will be presented along with the next steps for its adoption and implementation throughout Europe as well as the benefits it will bring to stakeholders, including patients, healthcare professionals, vendors, procurers, healthcare providers and national/regional health authorities.
