The problem The Solution

What can we do to lower the cost of transatlantic business engagement in eHealth?

Reduce barriers for transatlantic coordination, health care, trade

Decrease standards development and implementation costs

Accelerate convergence towards global standards

Support right of citizens to their health data and safety

Well, perhaps we could try building.. …a Transantlantic Bridge for EHR summaries!

• Pragmatic Feasibility study on the exchange of Patient Summaries across the Atlantic

• Compare, analyze, and map EU/USpatient summaries starting with Meaningful Use 2 C-CDA/CCD and EU patient summaries (epSOS)

• July 2013 to February 2015

• Stellar consortium of EU member state provider networks, associations, SDOs
