BS EN ISO 13940:2016 defines a system of concepts for different aspects of the provision of
healthcare.The core business in healthcare is the interaction between subjects of care and healthcare professionals.
Such interactions occur in healthcare/clinical processes and are the justification for the process
approach of this International Standard. To be able to represent both clinical content and clinical
context, this International Standard is related to a generic healthcare/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 International Standard covers the concept definitions needed whenever structured
information in healthcare is specified as a requirement. The definitions are intended to refer to the
conceptual level only and not to details of implementation. This International Standard will cover all
levels of specifications in the development oflogical reference models within the information viewpoint as a common basis for semantic
interoperability on international, national or local levels,information systems, andinformation for specified types of clinical processes.How to perform specific healthcare/clinical/informatics processes is not covered by this
International Standard.Healthcare research processes and healthcare educational processes are not covered in this
International Standard.Cross References:ISO 9000ISO 9001:2015EN 12264:2005EN 12381:2005EN 12967-1:2009EN 12967-2:2011EN 12967-3:2011ISO 13606-1:2008ISO 13606-2:2008ISO/TS 13606-4:2009EN 13940-1:2007EN 14822-1:2005EN 14822-2:2005EN 14822-3:2005ISO/IEC Guide 76:2008ISO Guide 73:2009ISO 17090-1:2013ISO 17090-2:2008ISO 17090-3:2008ISO/TR 18307:2001ISO/TR 20514:2005ISO 18308:2011ISO/IEC 2382:2015ISO/IEC 15414:2015ISO/IEC 6523-1:1998ISO/IEC/IEEE 15288:2015ISO/TS 21298:2008ISO 11615:2012ISO/HL7 21731:2006ISO/IEC 14776-151:2010ISO 1087-1:2000ISO 1087-2:2000ISO 8459:2009ISO 10303-1:1994ISO 10303-22:1998ISO 14971:2007ISO 22600-1:2014All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
