ISO 16278:2016定义了综合描述术语系统中人体解剖学的组织和内容所需的特征。它主要用于基于计算机的应用程序，如临床电子健康记录，决策支持和各种生物医学研究目的。 ISO 16278:2016将用于 - 以正常形式促进新术语系统的建设，增加其一致性和表现力， - 方便维护术语系统内的人体解剖学， - 增加现有术语系统的一致性和一致性， - 允许在不同类型的术语系统中的人体解剖学项目之间的系统交叉引用， - 促进术语系统内人体解剖结合， - 阐明不同医疗保健领域术语系统之间人体解剖学的重叠， - 提供关于将不同术语系统整合到相应开发人员之间的信息系统的谈判要素 - 能够对术语系统中的人体解剖进行系统评估。 ISO 16278:2016本身不适合或拟由个体临床医生或医院管理人员使用。 目标群体

ISO 16278:2016 defines the characteristics required to synthetically describe the organization and content of human anatomy within a terminological system. It is intended primarily for use with computer-based applications such as clinical electronic health records, decision support and for various bio-medical research purposes. ISO 16278:2016 will serve to - facilitate the construction of new terminological systems in a regular form which will increase their coherence and expressiveness, - facilitate maintenance of human anatomy within terminological systems, - increase consistency and coherence of existing terminological system, - allow systematic cross-references between items of human anatomy in different types of terminological systems, - facilitate convergence among human anatomy within terminological systems, - make explicit the overlap for human anatomy between different health care domains terminological systems, - provide elements for negotiation about integration of different terminological systems into information systems between the respective developers, and - enable the systematic evaluation of human anatomy within terminological systems. ISO 16278:2016 itself is not suitable or intended for use by, individual clinicians or hospital administrators. The target groups for this International Standard are the following: - designers of specialized standard healthcare terminological categorial structures; - developers of healthcare terminological systems including classifications and coding systems; - producers of services for terminological systems and designers of software including natural language processing; - information modellers, knowledge engineers, and standards developers building models for health information management systems; - developers of information systems that require an explicit representation of healthcare terminological systems; - developers of marked-up standards for representation of healthcare documents. ISO 16278:2016 does not include categorial structure that might be necessary for the description of developmental anatomy during the human life cycle, which includes prenatal development, post-natal growth and aging. ISO 16278:2016 has been developed for use as an integrated part of computer-based applications and for the electronic healthcare record. It would be of limited value for manual use. It is not the purpose of this International Standard to standardize the end user classification of human anatomy terminology or to conflict with the concept systems embedded in national practice and languages.
