M/021 - Healthcare informatics

1.1 This European Prestandard specifies general administrative messages for electronic information exchange between healthcare information systems. 1.2 The messages defined in this European Prestandard provide for an identification framwork for both administrative and non-administrative purposes.1.3 The messages identified in this European Prestandard pay especial attention to identification of both the individual and records pertaining to them and the registration of the individual on healthcare information systems.

This methodology has been applied in a first health care domain through the work of PT008 (WI 27). A technical report is required which fully defines the methodology used and extends it to meet the requirements of future messages development activities. An associated procedure is required to manage a directory of objects and attributes.

This part of the European Prestandard specifies the information to be registeredfor information objects used in EDI for the purpose of information interchange related to healthcare. The information objects and the information relating to them are recorded in a way which is designed to be independent of interchange format and to facilitate the use of the information objects to construct imple- mentable message specifications. This E.P. does not cover the registration of information objects which fall within layers 1-7 of the Basic Reference Model ofOpen Systems Interconnection ISO 7498.

The purpose of this European PreStandard is to define the semantic categories related to the identification of medicinal products and to establish a categorial structure that allows the description of the organization of the semantic categories representing the underlying system of characteristics.

This European Prestandard specifies the necessary requirements (clauses 5, 6 and 7) for the categorial structure of systems of concepts for medical device groups (clause 4). This prestandard is meant to be used by organizations involved with the development or maintenance of nomenclatures and coding systems for medical devices, and by designers of databases or information systems involving medical devices.

This standard addresses the definition and structuring of information that is communicated or referred to in communication between application entities. Within the scope of this standard is : - the interchange of Vital Signs Information between individual devices and between devices and the departmental processing system within the acute care setting; and, - data acquisition, archival and the exchange of archived data on storage media or via networks, e.g. in the electrophysiology sleep laboratory setting.

This European Prestandard specifies a procedure for the registration of infor- mation objects used in electronic data interchange messages (EDI) for the purpose of information interchange related to healthcare. The naming and definition of the information objects is covered in Part 1 of this European Prestandard. This European Prestandard does not specify the file organisation techniques, storage media, programming languages, etc., to be used in its implementation.

This European Prestandard (ENV) is intended for use by parties to the design, development, acquisition, use and monitoring of health-care related information and information systems. It provides a list of units of measurement to be used in representing values of measurable quantities in health sciences.

This European Prestandard specifies a set of representational primitives and semantic relations required for an unambiguous representation of explicit time-related expressions in medical informatics. This Prestandard does not introduce or force a specific ontology of time, nor does it force the use of a fixed representation scheme for such an ontology. Rather this Prestandard provides a set of principles for syntactic and semantic representation that allow the comparability of specific ontologies on time, and the exchange of time-related information that is expressed explicitly.

This European Prestandard specifies general messages for electronic information exchange between computer systems used by healthcare parties requesting specia- list services or receiving reports from specialist service departments. Examples of requests for healthcare speciality services include:-referral of a patient from a GP to a hospital clinial specialist;-referral of a patient for direct entry for an open access procedure;-referral of a patient for direct entry onto an operation waiting list;-referral of a p. for emergency hospital admission (acute referral);-r. of a p. for treatment by a paramedical specialist

This European Prestandard specifies general messages to enable electronic exchange of requests for, and reports of diagnostic services. The information exchanges covered are those between computer systems used by diagnostic service departments and computer systems used by healthcare parties requesting, or receiving results of, diagnostic services.  Within limits identified by subsequent clauses of this scope statement, this E. Prestandard is applicable to messages requesting, or reporting on the resultsof the following diagnostic services:*Radiology*Nuclear medicine*Ultrasound*...

This European Prestandard specifies network services to control the safe storage of medical images and related data in a networked and media interchange environment. It is an extension of the MEDICOM standard. This European Prestandard does not cover the issue of data ownership. More specifically it does not provide management of master copies of data. The term "Storage Commitment" implies that it must be possible at a later time (within the time frame specified in the Conformance Statement of the implementation) to retrieve the data.

1.1   This European Prestandard specifies information objects and services to be used when transferring information between medical imaging modalities and information systems in a healthcare environment.
1.2   This European Prestandard does not specify the information or usage domains of particular modalities or information systems as these vary according to local and national practices.
1.3   This European Prestandard only applies to information sent between a modality and an information system in the form of a worklist, in response to a request from that modality.  It provides:
   - a description of the content of the messages that transfer the worklist information and
   - a communication mechanism to transfer these messages.
1.4   This European Prestandard is applicable only to character-based (i.e. alphanumeric) information.  It does not apply to information presented as images or graphics.
1.5   This European Prestandard does not cover information objects and services to be used when transferring administrative, request, report and diagnostic service plan information between  DISs (of imaging departments) to or from HIS.  This is covered by  CEN/TC 251/PT3-022.

Migrated from Progress Sheet (TC Comment) (2000-07-10): Will be a CR.
