The 11th Steering Committee Meeting of the NETC@RDS project took place on 15-16 October 2009 in Krakow organised by the Polish National Health Insurance Fund (Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia – NFZ)
The NETC@RDS mid-term workshop successfully took place on 2nd April 2009 in the context of the MEDeTEL Forum (www.medetel.lu). More than 100 representatives of the healthcare and eHealth community attended the event that was aimed at pointing up the project achievements reached so far in the deployment phase with specific focus on policy and legal related aspects, potential market dimension and commercial features of the service. The workshop targeted on the effectiveness of the proposed ICT solution in view of the interoperability of the eEHIC as forthcoming challenge for borderless healthcare in Europe.
The Seventh Steering Committee Meeting of the NETC@RDS project took place on 6-7 November 2008 in Le Mans, at GIE-SV premises. The meeting was attended by the project partners, the EC project officer and a representative of the HPRO CARD (Healthcare Professional Card) project.
New NETC@RDS service sites have been launched in Slovakia recently. While the previous tendency has been to focus on hospitals only, this time two pharmacies have also been taken on board. Further NETC@RDS service points will also be operating during the European football championship (EUROPA 2008) in Switzerland this summer.
These recent achievements of the NETC@RDS project follow the earlier works, which have developed and tested practical solution implementations for the electronic European Health Insurance Card (eEHIC) in pilot regions of 10 Members States. The currently running Initial Deployment phase plans to add new sites in 15 European countries to a total of 305 service sites (566 service points) to enable "non-planned" health care for European citizens who provide evidence of entitlement.
The list of all service points is available online at: http://www.zi-berlin.de/netcards/pilots.htm
The Fifth Steering Committee Meeting of the NETC@RDS project took place on 26-27 May in the beautiful city of Maastricht at the Limburg County Hall where the EU Treaty was signed in 1992.
