This document specifies a means for communicating part or all of the electronic health record (EHR) of one or more identified subjects of care between EHR systems, or between EHR systems and a centralised EHR data repository.
It can also be used for EHR communication between an EHR system or repository and clinical applications or middleware components (such as decision support components), or personal health applications and devices, that need to access or provide EHR data, or as the representation of EHR data within a distributed (federated) record system.
This document will predominantly be used to support the direct care given to identifiable individuals or self-care by individuals themselves, or to support population monitoring systems such as disease registries and public health surveillance. Uses of health records for other purposes such as teaching, clinical audit, administration and reporting, service management, research and epidemiology, which often require anonymization or aggregation of individual records, are not the focus of this document but such secondary uses might also find the document useful.
This Part 1 of the multipart series is an Information Viewpoint specification as defined by the Open
Distributed Processing - Reference model: Overview (ISO/IEC 10746-1). This document is not intended
to specify the internal architecture or database design of EHR systems.Cross References:ISO 21090:2011ISO/IEC 2382:2015ISO 18308:2011ISO 8601:2004ISO/IEC/IEEE 24765:2017ISO 27789:2013ISO/HL7 21731:2014ISO/IEC 10746-1:1998ISO 13940ISO 22600All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
