Description / Abstract:
Main purposes
The main purpose of this International Standard is to formally
represent the content and hierarchical structure of healthcare
classification systems in markup language for the safe exchange and
distribution of data and structure between organizations and
dissimilar software products.
The scope of healthcare classifications systems covered in this
International Standard encompasses terminologies, and is
constrained to traditional paper-based systems (like ICD-10) and
systems built according to categorical structures and a cross
thesaurus (like ICNP). This International Standard is intended for
representation of healthcare classification systems in which
classes have textual definitions, hierarchical ordering, named
hierarchical levels (such as "chapter", "section"), inclusion-and
exclusion criteria, and codes. It is not intended to cover any
formal representation, either for definition or composition, of
concepts, or for specification of classification rules. Systems
with such formal specifications can at best be partially
represented using this International Standard, and are hence out of
scope.
Topics considered outside the scope of this
International standard
This International Standard is no intended to:
a) provide a normative syntax on how a healthcare classification
system is to be constructed;
b) define link types between elements in a healthcare
classification system; this is left to the developers of healthcare
classification systems;
c) provide a representation for direct viewing or printing.
