submit their comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS
available promptly at national level in an appropriate form. It is permissible to keep conflicting national standards in force (in
parallel to the CEN/TS) until the final decision about the possible conversion of the CEN/TS into an EN is reached.

CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia,
Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Introduction
The delivery of healthcare relies heavily on the ability to uniquely and accurately identify people when
they attend for care, i.e. the Subject of Care (SoC), as well as, when they provide care, i.e. the Individual
Provider.
Health informatics, supporting healthcare delivery, requires a clear specification to identify the SoC
and the Individual Provider so that they are correctly associated with the health information contained
within a healthcare application. This has led to the need to capture and share information across
different systems and healthcare applications.
Data carriers, such as bar codes and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), commonly referred to
as Automatic Identification and Data Capture (AIDC), have amplified the importance of defining the
identifier data structures for the SoC and Individual Provider to prevent ambiguity when information
is being captured. AIDC provides a wide spectrum of solutions, in particular, regarding optical carriers
(such as bar codes). Furthermore, the semantics of data carried is defined by a number of organizations
(also named “issuing agencies”), some of them having commercial activities, others nation-wide missions,
as well as, standard development organizations. This Technical Specification focuses on the use of the
1)
GS1 System of Standards since a considerable majority of supplies in healthcare around the world are
identified in accordance to this multisectorial and global system of standards. Interoperability is easier
to secure once a single system of standards is used in the healthcare setting.
Interoperability, where information is shared and used by different information systems, requires
a common SoC and Individual Provider identification semantic to ensure that shared information is
consistent and unambiguous. The same SoC and Individual Provider are accurately identified, referenced
and cross-referenced in each system. Effective data capture systems and information sharing is the key
to improving the care of SoCs and delivery by Individual Providers in terms of compliance, accuracy and
integrity of the h
