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

Introduction
® 1)
HL7 CDA Release 2.0 , which has been adopted as ISO/HL7 27932, is a document mark-up standard
that specifies the structure and semantics of clinical documents for the purpose of exchange between
healthcare providers and patients. It is necessary to establish a clinical document specification for
prescription of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces to support the implementation of
ISO/HL7 27932 in the context of the traditional Chinese medicine community. For implementers of HL7 ®
CDA Release 2.0, the prescription of traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces can be provided as
a use case to maximize the use of shared semantics.
A clinical document consists of a clinical document header and a clinical document body. A clinical
document header consists of many sections, including identification and classification, participant
author and custodian. A clinical document body consists of many sections, including diagnosis,
medication administration, cost and medication plan. Usually, the core data of the prescription of
traditional Chinese medicine decoction pieces includes information about the names and amounts of
the decoction pieces, the form of processing, the dose, preparation and decoction methods, the route of
administration, frequency, the timing of consumption and the number of packages.
This document can be applied in medical institutions that need to share their prescriptions of decoction
pieces to ensure that both or multiple parties exchange documents following the specification
with consistent syntax and semantics. This document can be used to support the data collection,
transmission, storage and exchange of decoction piece prescriptions for electronic records.
In this document, the following verbal forms are used:
— “shall” indicates a requirement;
— “should” indicates a recommendation;
— “can” indicates a possibility or a capability;
— “may” indicates a permission.
