NATIONAL E-HEALTH STANDARDS DEVELOPMENT - 3.2 GUIDING PRINCIPLES

3.2	GUIDING PRINCIPLES

The following principles are proposed to guide standards development for e-health in 
Australia. 

		3.2.1	Code of Good Practice
		3.2.2	Consensus
		3.2.3	Collaboration
		3.2.4	NEHTA’s Involvement in Standards Development
		3.2.5	Quality 
		3.2.6	Assessment				
 
1 CODE OF GOOD PRACTICE

  Development of standards, technical specifications and supporting materials designed 
  to support national e-health capabilities will be based on and compliant with the WTO 
  Code of Good Practice for the Preparation, Adoption and Application of Standards. 

	Details 1 Code of Good Practice
 
2 CONSENSUS

  Open (consensus) standards will be supported in preference to proprietary ones, and 
  international standards adopted where feasible. 

	Details 2 Consensus
 
3 COLLABORATION

  Leadership, direction setting, planning and coordination of standards development 
  activities will be collaborative across the sector.  The aim is to ensure a high level of 
  coherence and consistency in approach, eliminate duplication and wasted effort, and 
  encourage wide participation in standards development and subsequent implementation. 

	Details 3 Collaboration
 
4 NEHTA'S INVOLVEMENT IN STANDARDS CREATION

  Standards development will be tightly coupled with and validated through working 
  implementations, and where possible will be developed in association with system 
  development and/or implementation initiatives. 

	Details 4 NEHTA’s Involvement in Standards Development
 
5 QUALITY

Standards development will: 

   A commence with the preparation of formal requirements specifications [15] and a 
     comprehensive scan for existing candidate standards; 
                                    
   B be cognisant of both industry development and health service delivery 
     opportunities; 

   C comprise specifications; guidance on technical, human behavioural and 
     organisational implementation; and conformance protocols; 

   D be designed for re-use wherever possible; and  

   E be geared to minimising the costs of compliance while meeting the specified 
     requirements. 

	Details 5 Quality
 
6 ASSESSMENT

  Assessment of the impacts of standardization in e-health should be undertaken and 
  should incorporate review of standards development processes so as to drive quality 
  improvement.
