Geneva, Switzerland, 26-27 April 2012 Introduction to session 7 - “Advancing e-health standards: Roles and responsibilities of stakeholders” Marco Carugi ITU-T SG13 vice-Chair, Q3/13 Rapporteur and FG M2M Service Layer vice-Chair ZTE Corporation Marco.Carugi@zte.com.cn Joint ITU-WHO Workshop on e-Health Standards and Interoperability (Geneva, Switzerland, 26-27 April 2012)

Information update on ITU-T Focus Group on M2M Service Layer Established in January 2012 First meeting: 17-18 April 2012, ITU, Geneva Next meeting: 26-28 June 2012, Beijing, hosted by CCSA/CATR, teleconference facilities available To study requirements and specifications for a common Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Service Layer Cost-efficient platform Across vertical markets Multi-vendor environment Initial focus of the Focus Group: E-Health Working structure WG1 Use cases and service models WG2 Requirements and architectural framework of the M2M Service Layer WG3 API and protocols (it will start later) NOTE : Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications are considered to be a key enabler of applications and services across a broad range of vertical domains (e.g., health-care, logistics, transport, utilities, smart home etc.)
3
Information update (continued): work programmes - 1 WG1 Use cases and service models (E-Health) definitions, terminology, taxonomies Use cases (templates ? which services (categories) ?) Ecosystem including business roles and key actors Service Models WG2 Requirements and architectural framework of the M2M Service Layer Common understanding on M2M reference model and M2M Service Layer Requirements of the M2M Service Layer common to different application domains specific to E-Health M2M Service Layer architectural framework: M2M Service Layer capabilities and functional components, reference points
4
Information update (continued): work programmes - 2 WG3 API and protocols Framework of APIs and protocols for M2M APIs and protocols for specific M2M interfaces High reusability of existing specifications is assumed Need to identify specific interfaces - E-Health focus Other planned deliverables Collection of E-Health relevant activities from SDOs Gap analysis (which level of analysis) Action plan for future development of ITU-T standards An usual recommendation from a closing FG [the produced deliverables, potential work items recommended for future work]
5
FG M2M will coordinate with other standardization efforts within and outside ITU-T FG M2M aims at including vertical market stakeholders that are not part of traditional ITU-T membership and collaborating with M2M communities worldwide (incl. research, academia) WHO and Continua Health Alliance present at 1 st meeting, invitations planned to other SDOs Input welcome: Focus Group is open to any individual from a country which is a member of ITU and willing to contribute Please see the FG terms of Reference and additional information at www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/focusgroups/m2m/ Information update (continued): coordination aspects

Some messages concerning E-Health technical standardization and interoperability I have captured from workshop’s talks - 1 Fragmentation of standards, pilots, (techno-based) systems Multiple stakeholders, multiple/lack of policies, uncertain regulatory models, country and regional levels (but also market driven, borderless) Some existing standards could do much already but often not well known/known only to some (education, implementation practices) A number of non-technical barriers to standards adoption and compliance Coordination of information, Collaboration and harmonization among SDOs is needed Shared vision: mission/expectations of E-Health in 5 years Global and collaborative standards roadmap based on common understanding of the work scope, priorities (services, technical areas, system interfaces), which standards already exist, which gaps and missing areas Standards should be accessible to all and free of charge
7
Some messages concerning E-Health technical standardization and interoperability I have captured from workshop’s talks - 2 Interoperability, Compatibility, Scalability, Portability QoS, Security and Privacy, still allowing the required information exchange Impact on standards of legal and regulatory frameworks (e.g. digital signage, authentication) Impact on standards of economic aspects (e.g. service models and stakeholders, new business models) Synergy between E-Health development and other ICT efforts: digital agenda; cloud, grid, M2M and social/Web 2.0 technology penetration in networks; smart mobile devices; global e-service frameworks - but also consider E-Health specifics (cloud quality label) Exploit commonalities across different vertical application domains operated on the same network infrastructure (e.g. E- Health, ITS, smart home etc.)
8
Some messages concerning E-Health technical standardization and interoperability I have captured from workshop’s talks - 3 Flexible approaches in standards development (e.g. profiles, templates, incremental interoperability, cross-border targets) “Semantically annotated Web Services” as promising interim approach for interoperability Application adaptation to environmental technical constraints (e.g. to mobile device capabilities) Technical platforms are a good supporting tool to show/validate usage of standards (implementation practices) Interoperability events are also very useful Global dialogue towards E-Health standards and interoperability should continue under coordination of WHO and ITU involving all relevant stakeholders

Session 7 “Advancing e-health standards: Roles and responsibilities of stakeholders” This session is to capture your inputs for development of the next steps of the expected collaborative effort
10
Which (categories of) stakeholders ? Users (patients, communities, health institutions, governments etc.) Medical staff (doctors, experts, hospitals etc.) Partners (e.g. application developers) Vendors and operators of device, network and service infrastructure Standards Development Organizations Policy makers, regulators Donors (and coordination among them) Others ? Which Roles and Responsibilities ? Priorities, technical requirements, identified issues ?
11
Session 7 chair’s personal inputs on technical aspects Identification of (categories of) stakeholders Their roles and responsibilities in E-Health value chain Shared technical ground and work scope: which services and use cases, service models, environment assumptions, terminology and taxonomies, global architecture framework ? Priorities, technical requirements and identified issues from each stakeholder (category) SDOs’ landscape positioning, E-Health standards status Gap analysis of these (technical) standards Global and shared E-Health standards roadmap (items and priorities, stakeholders’ roles and responsibilities) Collaboration in progressing the roadmap Validation of the progress (e.g. interoperability events etc.)
