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.
The initial deployment phase of NETC@RDS project is now under way. This is aimed at achieving the widest implementation of an online service for the announced electronic European Health Insurance Card (eEHIC). The existing service, already successfully tested – market validation phase – in 85 pilots across 10 EU Member States, will be progressively extended to enable “non-planned” health care access for European mobile citizens who provide evidence of entitlement in any of the 305 project service sites across the 15 participating European countries. Among these, new service points at Hôpital Saint-Roch in Nice (France) and in the Lörrach area (Germany, French/Swiss border), involving 5 ambulatories care and 2 hospitals, have been recently inaugurated.
