DIABCARD-3 | |
| Improved communication in diabetes care based on chip cards |
| Project Nr: | HC 1010 | Group: I | Project Duration: 24 months |
| Key words: | |||
| Category: | Chipcard Technology for Improved Diabetes Care | ||
| Summary: | Documentation and communication in diabetes care and cardiovascular diseases based on chip card technology. Continuation of the DIABCARD project. | ||
| Mission: | The long-term goal of DIABCARD is improved care for chronic diseases by using state-of-the-art technology for documentation and communication. Focused on shared care for diabetes patients, the project will prepare for routine applications of a chipcard-based medical information system (CCMIS) to replace paper records. Readily available up-to-date records will be put on a patient data card (PDC) offering data security, integrity and confidentiality. A network of Europe-wide regional test sites with common tools and guidelines will be coordinated by a project board, and should stimulate regional business interest and health authority support. | ||

The long term goal of the DIABCARD project is to improve the quality of care in chronic diseases by application of the state-of-the-art technology for documentation and communication. The project focuses on shared care and will be exemplified on diabetes mellitus
A chip card based medical information system (CCMIS) is a good possibility to replace paper records. The patient data card (PDC) will make the up-to-date patient’s record available whenever it is needed. At the same time it offers security, data integrity and confidentiality. By means of pilot installations of chip card technology that validate different benefits of the card, DIABCARD will prepare for routine applications. Test sites will be installed all over Europe. Each test site will be regionally organised and managed thus stimulating the interest of business and the support of regional health authorities. The test sites will use common tools and guidelines laid down by the DIABCARD Board. The initiation, monitoring and assistance of all test sites is done by the central DIABCARD-Board. It will provide the necessary services for the test sites, monitor the proper use of the provided tools to ensure harmonisation and inter-operability and will at the same time stimulate the communication between the sites. It will aggregate and evaluate the validation results of the demonstrator phase from the various pilots. The results will be integrated into the specifications of the later products.

Users involved The project is primarily concerned with the patient and with the full range of healthcare professions (physicians, nurses, health care workers) as well as with the health service management and the work they do. It applies equally to those who provide resources and the parties who pay for care. Technologies and/or approach used The next generation health cards will provide enhanced security and larger memory capacity to hold sensitive data. The proposed DIABCARD will be able to handle T=0 and T=1 protocols. The emphasis will be on using low cost standard DP products. A high level application interface (API) will be defined within the project. Expected benefits for the citizen DIABCARD will help to improve clinical effectiveness, continuity and quality of care and control of costs, at the same time improving the emergency service to improve promptness and effectiveness of intervention. Expected benefits for the users of the application The DIABCARD will make clinical and administrative information about individual patients available to all authorised users. The use of the DIABCARD will improve the communication and the quality of diabetes care and thus the quality of life of the patient with diabetes. Expected benefits for the European Industries DIABCARD 3 will emphasise the completion of the specifications, the improvement of interfaces and processes and the integration of DIABCARD into existing medical systems from a medical, technical as well as from an administrative point of view. Contribution to EU-policies DIABCARD will stimulate the transfer of the new standards into practical implementation. Within the framework of this project an infrastructure will be established which promotes the harmonisation by means of communication, regionally as well as Europeanwide. |
