Description / Abstract:
This International standard defines a system of concepts for
different aspects of the provision of healthcare. The concepts aim
to support the continuity of care in healthcare and clinical
processes. An additional aim is to enable the reuse of clinical
information for other purposes such as secondary use for follow-up
and knowledge management.
The general aim for this standard is to provide a comprehensive,
conceptual basis for content and context in healthcare services. It
should be the foundation for interoperability at all levels in
healthcare organizations and for development of information systems
in healthcare. The core business in healthcare is the interaction
between subjects of care and healthcare professionals. Such
interactions occur in healthcare and clinical processes and are the
justification for the process approach of this standard. To be able
to represent both clinical content and clinical context, this
standard is based upon a generic clinical process model as well as
comprehensive concept definitions and concept models for the
clinical, management and resource aspects of healthcare
services.
In practice this standard should be used whenever information in
healthcare is specified as a requirement. This will cover all
levels of specifications in the development of:-
• business or clinical reference models as a common basis for
interoperability on international, national or local levels;
• information systems and
• information for specified types of clinical processes.
The performance of any specific healthcare and clinical
processes, healthcare research processes and healthcare educational
processes are not covered in this standard.
