eHealth DSI Member State Expert Group
Decision regarding Estonia NCPeH to be authorised to start
the Production Environment Testing with service PS A and PS B
Having analysed the audit and Pre-Production Testing of Estonia.
eHMSEG considers the following functional findings f-4, and f-6 have a medium impact on
the eHDSI, and finding f-8 have low impact on the eHDSI. eHMSEG has determined these
findings can be resolved during routine operations.
There are two findings from the initial audit, on which the auditors concluded that no
further requests for information or other follow-up actions are needed.
The eHMSEG takes note on the fact, that EE have not finished the conformance tests with
three partners, due to the exceptional situation, which was the outburst of the COVID -19
pandemic.
Having said so, the eHMSEG decides that EE NCPeH is authorised to start the Production
Environment Testing of service PS A and PS B.
In addition, findings f-4, f-6 and f-8 do not prevent NCPeH from starting routine operations,
provided that all the Production Environment Tests sessions are fulfilled and there are no
further findings impeding the go-live after these tests.
