EHR security standards and content visualisation standards should be synchronized.

In the present situation, EHR standards usually do not specify how EHR content should be visualized to users. This is mainly due to diverse safety issues and regulations in different legislatures. The CDA specification provides some recommendations on how documents are to be structured and encoded in order to support the visualization process in conformance with safety issues. Unfortunately, this means that structured and coded content of an EHR is stored redundantly in the document. CDA provides a solution in which all the information necessary for the presentation of a document to a human user is encorporated in the "narrative block" in each document section, thus it enables a simple and generic presentation of the document through style sheets. This results in the duplication of structured machine readable in the narrative block.

About RIDE Project

RIDE is a roadmap project for interoperability of eHealth systems leading to recommendations for actions and to preparatory actions at the European level. This roadmap will prepare the ground for future actions as envisioned in the action plan of the eHealth Communication COM 356 by coordinating various efforts on eHealth interoperability in member states and the associated states. Since it is not realistic to expect to have a single universally accepted clinical data model that will be adhered to all over the Europe and that the clinical practice, terminology systems and EHR systems are all a long way from such a complete harmonization; the RIDE project address the interoperability of eHealth systems with special emphasis on semantic interoperability.
