Project background

International patient summary (IPS) standards consistently adapted and localized to serve the needs of specific use cases are essential to attaining of vision of the patient summary as a social good and human right. The Trillium Bridge project (2013-2015) compared patient summary standards and specification in Europe and the United states and demonstrated the technical feasibility of exchanging electronic health record summaries across the Atlantic in the context of emergency or unplanned care abroad. Reflecting on its results, the Trillium Bridge consortium reached a broadly endorsed recommendation: “Advance an International Patient Summary standard to enable people to access and share their health information for emergency or unplanned care anywhere and as needed starting with immunizations, allergies, medications, clinical problems, past operations and implants.”

Trillium II builds on the recommendations of Trillium Bridge and places IPS standards at the core of a global community for digital health innovation with the aim to advance patient safety & trust by bridging the gap between strategic intent and capability to deliver interoperability at a global scale.
