Summary of IS0 11073
summary of IS0 1107ISO/IEEE 11073 is a set of standards that
define a framework for interoperable personal health devices (PHDs)
and health information systems (HIS). The standard consists of
several parts, each addressing different aspects of PHD-HIS
interoperability.
Some of the key aspects covered by ISO/IEEE 11073 include:
1 Device communication: The standard defines a common
communication protocol and data format for PHDs and HISs,
enabling interoperability between different devices and systems.
2 Device specialization: The standard includes profiles that specify
how to map the standard communication protocol to specific
types of PHDs, such as blood glucose meters or pulse oximeters.
3 Security and privacy: The standard provides guidelines for ensuring
the security and privacy of personal health information (PHI)
transmitted between PHDs and HISs, including encryption and
authentication mechanisms.
4 Data exchange: The standard defines how PHDs and HISs can
exchange health-related data, including support for different
data types and formats.
5 Clinical workflow integration: The standard provides guidelines for
integrating PHDs and HISs into clinical workflows, including
support for alerts, notifications, and clinical decision support.
Overall, ISO/IEEE 11073 aims to promote interoperability and
integration between different personal health devices and health
information systems, enabling more efficient and effective healthcare
delivery.
