CEF eDelivery at the Lisbon eHealth Week  & EXPAND Final Event

The "Lisbon eHealth week" event (9th – 11th December) aims to communicate the results of Expanding Health Data Interoperability (EXPAND), a thematic Network, the main goal of which is to progress towards an environment of sustainable cross-border eHealth services,

CEF eDelivery helps public administrations to exchange electronic data and documents with other public administrations, businesses and citizens, in an interoperable, secure, reliable and trusted way. It may also be used in the context of virtually any policy domain, such as Healthcare.

National Contact Points (NCPs) underpin Europe's eHealth architecture, interfacing with national and other EU Member States' healthcare infrastructure. Given the varied IT systems in use across the EU, is vital that NCPs are interoperable with one another. CEF eDelivery provides the tools to establish an interoperable and secure cross-border exchange of data

Running throughout the eHealth Week, an EXPANDathon gives participating EU Member States the opportunity to collect evidence on their readiness for the deployment of cross-border eHealth services.

The secure and predictable exchange of often very sensitive information is fundamental to facilitating cross-border eHealth. Through access to grant funding for those wishing to adopt CEF eDelivery, and the provisions of the CEF eDelivery 'building block' (specifications, support, software implementations), CEF eDelivery will enable the secure, reliable and trusted exchange of data in the eHealth sector.

Results of the testing will be available soon.
