To start completing the platform, it is necessary in the first place to identify a “pilot” person who will be responsible for the completion operations. The pilot will list the products, which need to integrate the entry perimeter and the list of resources needed - they can be product owners, technical experts, functional experts...

Although the questions have been contextualised, some knowledge of health IS interoperability, security and the main goals of the eHealth doctrine is a prerequisite.

Some time may be allocated to organise group questionnaire readings. From the completion of a first product, the questionnaire reading will be useful to identify topics that are under control and topics that need to be addressed.

Then, the pilot can organise punctual meetings in order to follow the project’s completion progress, make sure the answers are coherent and share experts’ feedback.

The eHealth doctrine identifies several data directories, each with a specific target:

• the extended RPPS (or RPPS+) to identify each physical person in their role as a health professional (all types of professionals or assistants in the sector);
• the revised FINESS(or FINESS+) to identify each moral person in the health sector (all establishments or judicial entities in the sector);
• the ROR to describe the extend of the health offer within a facility or establishment (specialties, capacity, etc.).

The accountability referential defines the means useable for:

• tracing the actions done on a health IS;
• guarantee the value of each registered action;
• control the use of this health IS.

There are two types of profile :  

• Administrator (“Responsable”) : this profile is either for the company’s social representative, or for the person authorised by the social representative. They are authorised to add new contributors, create products, and grant rights to contributors from their company; 
• Contributor (“Contributeur”) : authorised to create accounts for other users, to create products and to answer questionnaires, within the limit of the permissions they are granted. 

Access permissions are granted to contributors in order to access questionnaires for products that have already been created on the platform and the questionnaire relating to the global strategy. 

Contributors without rights to validate questionnaires may only register draft answers for the questionnaires they have access to. 

To initiate the process, click on Add a product. A product identification and a product qualification questionnaire invite you to register:

• the name of the product, its versions, its identification number (NIL number, issued by the CNDA), its description and its certifications;
• technical or functional specificities;
• the referencing process you wish to apply for when you finish creating the product.

The qualification questionnaire specifies technical and functional features and customises the maturity questionnaires you will have to fill in later during the application process.

When you submit the identification and qualification questionnaires, the product is created. The platform will then ask you to select the evaluation module you wish to register the product in. You may also add a product into a module from the product page or from the module’s presentation page.
