ECHIM project meeting

Pieter Kramers presented the EUPHIX test release at the meeting of the ECHIM Core Group in Helsinki, February 14-15, 2006. The ECHIM project is the follow-up of ECHI, and is co-ordinated by Arpo Aromaa of KTL in Helsinki. The project aims at the further development of the ECHI list of health indicators, as well as at supporting its implementation. ECHIM and EUPHIX could work together on improvement of data source definition, associated data collection and their presentation as the ECHI indicators. This will evidently happen in close collaboration with Eurostat, WHO-Euro and OECD.
