for e-EHIC The technological challenge Guillaume AFLALO Med-e-tel Luxembourg, 2nd April 2009
Summary I.The early challenge II.The running implementation 1.Portal & back office secured infrastructure 2.Smart card reading applet mechanism 3.Workstation components deployment III.What is common ? What is specific ?
I - The early challenge
Offer to the health care practitioner & EU citizen a secured online infrastructure to initiate the patient administrative admission properly by: 1.Retrieving the European Health Insurance dataset from –A national health smart card Or –A European Health Insurance Plastic Card 2.Validating online in realtime this EHI dataset by its issuer
II- The running Service Implementation On-line verification of entitlement rights via national portals Minimal data provision contributing to back-office interstate billing Automated data capture for identification based on a common set of data elements 1 2 3
The running Service Implementation EHIC or Smart Card Log stored Health Care Pro. Workstation Service Portal SLOVAKIA Service Portal ITALY RepositoryITALY Billing Services secure Internet or Intranet Internet SSL V3
The smart card reading applet mechanism Health Care Pro. Workstation Portal APPLET IT Smart Card Reader Web Browser PC/SC Resource Manager
Netcards Workstation Low Level Drivers Portal APPLET FR APPLET AT APPLET IT APPLET SI APPLET DE GALSSJNI SI JNI DE JNI GALSVW32 CT- API SIJNI.dll Smart Card Reader Web Browser EHIC OCR Formular OCR Application Scanner Driver OCR Scanner Windows PC/SC Driver & Resource Manager
Workstation components deployment Easiness of technical deployment is a critical point : –Hospitals & GP have already lots of SW from various vendors –Smart card reading & health Insurance is not their core buisness Deployment consists of : –Installing Java Runtime Environment (if not already in place), –Installing a USB smart card reader, –Running a simple setup.exe that install all components => Deployment of a Workstation does not take more than 15 minutes !
III- What is common ? What is country specific ? What is common : –Portal source code –Security means between portals –Workstation setup for deploying smart card components What is country specific ? –Portal Back office connector –Smart card reading applets ( shared & served by card issuer portals) –Security means between portal and service units
