  1. NETC@RDS for e-EHIC A Step Towards the Introduction of the electronic European Health Insurance Card

  2. PROJECT KEY ELEMENTS

  3. Background and Challenges • Pan-European initiatives to foster mobility & skills inside the E.U • Since June 2004: common EU Health Insurance Card (EHIC) – ensures access to health care when abroad inside the EEA • EHIC: Eye-readable document – minimum common denominator – only a temporary solution on the way forward to an e-EHIC • But in 25 Member States + other EFTA countries – different levels of care entitlement, different levels of IT infrastructure • Announced decision on long-term course – 2008+ • NETC@RDS challenge: to demonstrate potential of harmonising different solutions – by applying modern IT capabilities

  4. Full Market Validation 20 partners from 10 Member-States : Austria, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Slovak Republic and Slovenia + Estonia, Netherlands, Norway and Polandas observers All partners: not-for-profit institutions onbehalf national or regional health authorities Number of pilot sites: 70 Time schedule: May 2004 – March 2006 Possible extension till Oct 2006 Budget: 5 M€ (50% e-TEN) Project at a Glance

  5. Service Evaluation Pilot in Greece (Olympic Games 08/2004) Summary of the Greek pilot results There were 79 emergency cases treated by 8 amongst 14 pilot units. 13 NETC@RDS cases. The feedback concerning technical functionality, easy use of the demonstrator and acceptance was very positive. Differences between NETC@RDS and EHIC could be shown.

  6. Pilot Early Assessment • Users found the service simplified and speeds up the process • No training problems (system found simple and usable) • The common interface was useful, but common procedures also needed • Further improvements would increase benefits gained • Administrative / legal problemsidentified and provisionallysolved Overall positive response - the system proved to be useful

  7. Service Evaluation Technical Issues (Greek pilot) (n = 20) (n = 20) Technical problems were only experienced by reading national Health Insurance Cards not defined in NETC@RDS. The problem with the EHIC is the high rate of transcription errors.
