Hello,

I have received this message from CEN/TC251. I think those of you directly involved in building openEHR systems may be interested in contributing with your requirements and views.

> Dear Members,
> 
> Following Alpo Värri’s kind notification, I would like to inform you about a new IEEE working group within our WG’s scope. It is called “Data Quality Standards of Electronic Health Records Workgroup” ([https://standards.ieee.org/industry-connections/activities/data-quality-standards-of-electronic-health-records-workgroup/](https://standards.ieee.org/industry-connections/activities/data-quality-standards-of-electronic-health-records-workgroup/)) and has a dedicated website ([IEEE SA Industry Connections Template –](https://sagroups.ieee.org/ic23-005/)).
> 
> Its terms of reference can be found at the following link: [https://standards.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/IC23-005-01-Data-Quality-Standards-of-Electronic-Health-Records-Workgroup.pdf](https://standards.ieee.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/IC23-005-01-Data-Quality-Standards-of-Electronic-Health-Records-Workgroup.pdf)
> 
> Please consider joining me in registering to the group. The registration link is [Smartsheet Forms](https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/40ff0b51073143edbe4e453190e72d59)

As they say in the documentation:

> The workgroup will have the following goals:
> 
> 1. Developing a method to create unique identifiers for each electronic healthcare vendor; thereby, identifying the electronic health record system used to create the electronic health record.
> 2. Developing a methodology allowing each electronic health record vendor to create identifiers identifying the healthcare provider responsible for creating the electronic health record.
> 3. Introduction of the system to measure the completeness of electronic health records.
> 4. Identify parameters for measuring the quality of electronic health records.
