Subject: ebXML and e-Procurement in the Healthcare sector

 

Dear Sir,

 

We would like to do a study about ebXML. How it could be useful for e-Procurement in the Healthcare sector.

We are participating in a R&D project called OPUS.

 

OPUS stands for Optimal Public Procurement in the Healthcare Marketplace

 

OPUS creates an efficient e-procurement mechanism that enables hospitals and pharmaceutical suppliers to electronically exchange contractual information, aided by the technologies of optimisation and business rules.
OPUS mediation service provider will grasp the market opportunity, as this is triggered by the consumer's request, offer the participants the ability to dynamically constellate with other medical suppliers, and promote collective competition among the constellations. Appropriate settlement modlles will address the necessary contractual and/or value sharing arrangements spontaneously or dynamically.
OPUS modules, entailing the various business perspectives, policies and market rules, will resolve any apparent conflict. The dynamic pricing module will dismantle the generated product and disseminate the value among the implicated partners.

More information can be found: http://opus.pouliadis.gr

 

I would like to ask you if some work has been done in this direction by the ebXML association or related groups?

 

Thank you very much in advance.

Sincerely Yours

 

Geert Thienpont
