I - The early challenge

?Health Insurances

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 cardOr– 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

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

• NETC@RDS 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

Thank you very much for your attention !
