Improvement in access and quality of care, cost benefits and productivity gains will only be possible, if eHealth technologies are applied as
enabling tools for re-organi-sation and supported by the necessary skills

A standard is a document established by consensus and approved by a recognised body, that provides, for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context.
Example : A skilled professional is one who follows the standards developed and accepted by his profession in his context.

There is a need for a general health care data model , an essential building block for developing comprehensive, robust application level interfaces.
If available, such a data model could serve as a key enabling factor in achieving international convergence of the various informatics standardisation efforts.
The greatest impact of those models, initially developed to improve interfacing of heterogeneous systems, will come over time from serving as the foundation for a new generation of health care applications with improved functionality, stability, flexibility and interoperability at lower cost (improved efficiency).
