Funded Activity Summary

Due to semantic variability and service complexity, existing national listings of services do not provide an adequate framework for patient mobility. eDESDE-LTC aims to develop an operational system for coding, mapping and comparing services for Long-Term Care (LTC) across Europe to facilitate semantic interoperability in this field. The system includes a toolkit with the following components: 1) an instrument for standardized classification, description and utilization of main types of care for persons with LTC needs in Europe (DESDE-LTC). It incorporates basic descriptors and indicators in 6 European languages; 2) a coding system with a coding list and a glossary of terms; and 3) a training package on semantic interoperability in eHealth (coding and listing of services for LTC) that includes a Case Book.
