Health informatics - Registration of coding systems

This European Standard specifies a procedure for the registration of coding schemes used in health for any purpose. It also specifies the allocation of a unique Health Coding Scheme Designator to each registered coding scheme. A code value can thus be given an unambiguous meaning by association with a HCD.
The method by which a HCD and a code value are associated is not defined by this European Standard. The association is achieved in any manner appropriate to the syntax used.
This European Standard does not specify the coding schemes to be used in health, give guidance on their selection nor describe methods of representing information in coded form.
Coding schemes maintained by different Responsible Organisations may also be used in combinations. Such combinations can be considered as templates, and as such they lie outside the scope of the current document.

Informatique de santé - Enregistrement des systèmes de codage

Le présent document décrit une procédure pour l'enregistrement des systèmes de codage utilisés dans le
domaine de la santé quel que soit leur objectif. Elle spécifie également l'attribution à chaque système de
codage enregistré d'un identificateur de système de codage de santé unique (HCD, Health Coding System
Designator). Il est ainsi possible de donner une signification non ambiguë à une valeur de code en l'associant
à un HCD.
La présente Norme européenne ne définit pas la méthode permettant d�associer un HCD et un code. Cette
association est réalisée par toute méthode appropriée à la syntaxe utilisée.
Le présent document n'indique pas les systèmes de codage à utiliser dans le domaine de la santé, ne donne
pas de conseil quant à leur choix et ne décrit pas les méthodes pour représenter les informations sous forme
codée.
Il est également possible de combiner des systèmes de codage gérés par différentes organisations
responsables. De telles combinaisons peuvent être considérées comme des modèles et par conséquent sont
exclues du domaine d'application du présent document.

Medizinische Informatik - Registrierung von Kodierungsschemata This European Standard was approved by CEN on 17 April 2005.
CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any CEN member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.
CEN members are the national standards bodies of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.

1 Scope This European Standard specifies a procedure for the registration of coding systems used in health for any purpose. It also specifies the allocation of a unique Health Coding System Designator to each registered coding system. A code value can thus be given an unambiguous meaning by association with a HCD. The method by which a HCD and a code value are associated is not defined by this European Standard. The association is achieved in any manner appropriate to the syntax used. This European Standard does not specify the coding systems to be used in health, give guidance on their selection nor describe methods of representing information in coded form. Coding systems maintained by different Responsible Organisations may also be used in combinations. Such combinations can be considered as templates, and as such they lie outside the scope of the current document. 2 Normative References The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
