Health informatics - Business requirements for a syntax to exchange structured dose information for medicinal products (ISO/TS 17251:2023)
This document specifies the business requirements for the structured content of structured or semi-
structured dose instructions for recording dose instructions in the electronic health record (EHR),
supporting clinical decision support, and in exchanging medication orders, as applicable to primary,
secondary and tertiary care.
This document is focused on the dose instructions as will be presented to the individual subject of care
or caregiver. Comprehension of dose instructions by the subject of care or caregiver is an overarching
consideration for subject of care safety and the best outcomes. Related factors are discussed but are not
part of the primary scope.
This document does not define an information model, except to the extent that those information model
concepts are necessary to define business requirements.
Outside the scope of this document are:
— The implementation of dose instructions, i.e. assembling the structured elements into a form
appropriate for the patient or caregiver;
— The content of a medication order (see ISO 17523) beyond content related to dose instructions;
— The content of a record of dispense of a medicinal product (see ISO/TS 19293);
— The functionality of health, clinical and/or pharmacy systems;
— Other kinds of content of health, clinical or pharmacy systems that are needed to support the whole
process of health care providers, such as:
— A drug knowledge database (see ISO/TS 22756);
— A decision support system (see ISO/TS 22756 and ISO/TS 22703);
— A complete medical record (EHR);
— A medicinal product dictionary (see ISO/TS 19256);
— Verification of the medicinal product and dose being administered.
— Some concepts from Identification of Medicinal Products are referenced, but not defined, in this
document. See Clause 4 for discussion of the relationship of this document with IDMP.

Zdravstvena informatika - Poslovne zahteve za sintakso za izmenjavo strukturiranih podatkov o odmerkih za zdravila (ISO/TS 17251:2023)
Ta dokument določa poslovne zahteve za strukturirano vsebino strukturiranih ali polstrukturiranih navodil za odmerke za shranjevanje navodil za odmerke v elektronski zdravstveni zapis (EHR), zagotavljanje podpore za klinično odločanje ter uporabo v izmenjavi naročil zdravil, kot se uporabljajo v primarni, sekundarni in terciarni oskrbi.
Ta dokument se osredotoča na navodila za odmerke in bo predstavljen posameznemu oskrbovancu ali negovalcu. Oskrbovančevo oziroma negovalčevo razumevanje navodil za odmerke je najpomembnejši vidik za zagotavljanje oskrbovančeve varnosti in najboljših rezultatov zdravljenja. Obravnavani so povezani dejavniki, ki pa niso del primarnega področja uporabe.
Ta dokument ne določa informacijskega modela, razen v obsegu, v katerem so ti koncepti informacijskega modela potrebni za opredelitev poslovnih zahtev.
Področje uporabe tega dokumenta ne vključuje:
– Izvajanje navodil za odmerke, tj. sestavljanje strukturiranih elementov v obliki, ki ustreza bolniku ali negovalcu;
– Vsebina naročila zdravila (glej standard ISO 17523) zunaj vsebine v zvezi z navodili za odmerke;
– Vsebina zapisov o izdaji zdravila (glej standard ISO/TS 19293);
– Funkcionalnost zdravstvenih, kliničnih in/ali lekarniških sistemov;
– Druge vrste vsebin zdravstvenih, kliničnih ali lekarniških sistemov, ki so potrebne za zagotavljanje podpore za celoten postopek ponudnikov zdravstvenih storitev, kot so:
– Podatkovna zbirka znanja o zdravilih (glej standard ISO/TS 22756);
– Sistem za zagotavljanje podpore za sprejemanje odločitev (glej standarda ISO/TS 22756 in ISO/TS 22703);
– Celovit elektronski zdravstveni zapis;
– Slovar zdravil (glej ISO/TS 19256);
– Preverjanje količine uporabljenega zdravila in odmerka.
– V tem dokumentu so referenčno navedeni nekateri koncepti iz identifikacije medicinskih izdelkov, vendar niso opredeljeni. Glej točko 4 za obravnavo razmerja med tem dokumentom in standardom za identifikacijo medicinskih izdelkov.

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).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see
www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 215, Health informatics, in collaboration
with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 251, Health
informatics, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna
Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/TS 17251:2016), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— editorial corrections and clarifications;
— added Clause 4 on the relationship to other standards;
— updated Clause 3;
— Clause 4 includes discussion on the relationship to the IDMP standards and clarifies the use of IDMP
terms;
— Subclause 6.4.9: removed height, added optional laboratory observations;
— Subclause 6.4.5 and 6.4.7.1 for elements described as a range (e.g. max/min dose, range for interval
or frequency) added discussion of 2-term and 3-term representations;
— Subclause 6.4.1: added discussion on complex instructions (e.g. multiple schedules, multiple dose
amounts);
— Subclause 6.4.5: clarified language around selection of unit of measurement versus unit of
presentation;
— Subclause 6.4.8: clarified that conditional administration is not necessarily the indication for the
medication order;
iv
ISO/TS 17251:2023(E)
— Subclause 6.4.9.4: added capability to provide date and/or time for subject of care characteristics;
— Subclause 6.4.4.1: added description and conformance for administration method;
— Subclause 6.4.7.1: added the option to have frequency based upon a period of time, such as “2 times
over 3 days”.
