NATIONAL E-HEALTH STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT - 2.4 CURRENT CHALLENGES IN STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT

2.4	CURRENT CHALLENGES IN STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT

Standards development organisations worldwide are facing challenges to their traditional 
modes of operation.  

These are not restricted to e-health, but are associated with factors such as globalisation, 
the increasing pace of change and greater use of market mechanisms by governments.  

These challenges to traditional standards development include: 

a Perceptions that standards development is too slow and the processes employed are 
  too complex to encourage greater participation; 

b Over-reliance on “voluntary” involvement from individuals or organisations, often at 
  their own expense, and the associated risk that ability/willingness to pay may be a 
  poor proxy for ability to contribute; 

c Steady, long-term declines in the resourcing provided by governments and large 
  corporations;  

d Greater competition from industry collaborations and between standards 
  organisations that rely on revenue from the sale of standards; 

e Separation of standards development from implementation, generating the risk that 
  development can be overly academic and lack market feedback; and 

f Lack of infrastructure for managing compliance. 
 
These challenges are faced by standards organisations worldwide and across all sectors 
of the economy.  

They are also specifically faced by NEHTA and Standards Australia. 

Additional challenges in the e-health arena include: 

1 The fusion of technologies e.g., mobile telephony, the internet, medical devices and 
  computers, each founded upon their own base of standards, now requiring 
  harmonisation; and 

2 Often dissociated processes for data standardization for aggregation (reporting) and 
  for clinical decision making and communication purposes.
