The document discusses the eStandards project which aims to advance the use of eHealth standards in Europe and globally. The key goals are to: 1) Build consensus on eHealth standards among stakeholders and create a roadmap for aligning, consolidating, and adopting standards. 2) Support large-scale eHealth deployments across regions, countries, and borders through quality management and testing of systems. 3) Advance global cooperation on eHealth standards through relationships like the EU-US Memorandum of Understanding.
