Health informatics - Classification of purposes for processing personal health information (ISO/TS 14265:2024)
This document defines a set of high-level categories of purposes for which personal health information can be processed: collected, used, stored, accessed, analysed, created, linked, communicated, disclosed or retained. This is in order to provide a framework for classifying the various specific purposes that can be defined and used by individual policy domains (e.g. healthcare organisation, regional health authority, jurisdiction, country) as an aid to the consistent management of information in the delivery of health care services and for the communication of electronic health records across organisational and jurisdictional boundaries.
Health data that have been irreversibly de-identified are outside the scope of this document, but since de-identification processes often includes some degree of reversibility, this document can also be used for disclosures of de-identified and/or pseudonymised health data whenever practicable.
This classification, whilst not defining an exhaustive set of purposes categories, provides a common mapping target to bridge between differing national lists of purpose and thereby supports authorised automated cross-border flows of EHR data.

Zdravstvena informatika - Klasifikacija namenov za obdelavo osebnih zdravstvenih informacij (ISO/TS 14265:2024)
Standard ISO/TS 14265:2011 opredeljuje nabor kategorij namenov na visoki ravni, za katere je mogoče obdelovati osebne zdravstvene informacije. Namen tega je zagotoviti okvir za klasifikacijo različnih posebnih namenov, ki jih je mogoče opredeliti in uporabljati na posameznih področjih politik (npr. zdravstvene organizacije, regionalni zdravstveni organi, jurisdikcije, države), kot pomoč za dosledno upravljanje informacij pri zagotavljanju zdravstvenih storitev ter za posredovanje elektronskih zdravstvenih zapisov prek organizacijskih meja in meja jurisdikcije.
Področje uporabe standarda ISO/TS 14265:2011 je omejeno na osebne zdravstvene informacije, kot so opredeljene v standardu ISO 27799, informacije v zvezi z določljivo osebo, ki se navezujejo na fizično ali duševno zdravje posameznika, ali na zagotavljanje zdravstvenih storitev posamezniku.

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 document 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).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/TS 14265:2011), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— the list of categories has been expanded to include subdivisions of the health service management,
population and public health and research categories;
— other categories have been renamed to make their meaning and distinction from other categories more
explicit;
— the categories have been organised within a hierarchy;
— the informative introduction has been shortened by removing explanatory material about basic data
protection principles which were relatively novel at the time of the previous version but are now well
understood across jurisdictions;
— the retained portions of the introduction have been made more crisp.

Introduction
0.1 General
This document defines a set of categories of purpose for processing personal health information, to
which specific purposes can be mapped if it is desirable to compare permitted and intended purposes for
processing personal health data, or to determine if two or more permitted purposes are compatible. This
document does not aim to present a comprehensive list of specific purposes, but that all specific purposes
can be mapped to one or more of these categories. Although any specific purpose will usually map to one
category, at times a purpose can be mapped to more than one category. The categories are not mutually-
exclusive, and the mapping of a specific purpose might not always be unique to one category.
Categories of purpose to which specific purposes are mapped should be standardised to allow for consistent
comparisons to be made, rules and guidelines developed, and people trained. Bodies that make data access
decisions, sometimes known as data access bodies or data permit authorities, often specify rules for certain
categories of purpose and can find this categorisation useful.
0.2 Rationale for this classification
A fundamental principle underlying the use of personal data, often codified in data protection legislation,
is that it is necessary to formally specify the purpose for which data was originally collected and/or is
permitted to be processed. Personal information is normally used only for the purpose or purposes for
which it was collected or created, unless otherwise required or authorised by law, or with the explicit or
implied consent of the data subject. All subsequent processing activities by the original data holder or others
by whom the data is accessed needs to be for the same as, or compatible with, the original purpose.
Interoperability standards and common data models, and their progressive adoption by e-health programmes
and clinical research platforms, are expanding the capacity for organizations to exchange personal health
information, within and between countries. Large scale research and public health intelligence sharing
are amongst the drivers for scaling up investments in these data infrastructures. Whilst it is common and
desirable that much of the processing for analysis and knowledge generation utilises anonymised data
or distributed (federated) querying mechanisms, it is sometimes necessary to use pseudonymised data
if longitudinal or cross-organisational linkage is required; pseudonymised data is considered in some
jurisdictions to be personal data. It can at times be difficult to robustly anonymise health data, for example
in the case of rare disease patients, genetic and personalised medicine research, in which case the data can
be co
