2. Sarajevo, September 1, 2009 Georges De Moor, MD, PhD Current and Future Initiatives of EuroRec 2 EuroRec is an independent not-for-profit organisation established in 2003. Its main mission is to promote - as a federation of national ProRec centres (15 member countries and 7 new applicants) - the use of high quality Electronic Health Record systems (EHRs) in Europe. It therefore also supports certification by defining quality criteria.

5. Sarajevo, September 1, 2009 Georges De Moor, MD, PhD EuroRec 2009 Annual Conference 5 EuroRec has installed a central repository of validated quality criteria and other relevant materials that can be used to harmonise European quality labelling or certification, product documentation and procurement specification of EHR systems. EuroRec will not impose any particular certification model or any specific criteria on any member country but will foster, via accredited centres and other channels, the progressive adoption of consistent and comparable approaches to EHR system quality labelling (cf. several models ! and EuroRec seal). (today: +1500 criteria with translations in 18 languages).

Sarajevo, September 1, 2009 Georges De Moor, MD, PhD EuroRec 2009 Annual Conference 8 EHR-Implement is collecting, analyzing and comparing broad scale Electronic Health Record implementations in European countries in order to provide best practice and strategic recommendations. In the past political, social and organizational aspects that can jeopardise implementation have been overlooked.

Sarajevo, September 1, 2009 Georges De Moor, MD, PhD EuroRec 2009 Annual Conference 9 This project fits with objective 1.6 of the 2 nd Call for Proposals for the CIP- ICT PSP program: “Improving certification of e-Health products” EHR-Q TN is a Thematic Network project that prepares the health community across Europe (including also most Eastern European countries) for systematic and comparable quality assurance and certification of Electronic Health Record systems and other e-Health products. It is in the first place a dissemination project. EuroRec is offering its repository of quality criteria and its tools to facilitate the deployment of such certifications throughout Europe.
