Health informatics - System of concepts to support continuity of care (ISO/DIS 13940:2024)
ISO 13940:2015 defines a system of concepts for different aspects of the provision of healthcare.
The core business in healthcare is the interaction between subjects of care and healthcare professionals. Such interactions occur in healthcare/clinical processes and are the justification for the process approach of ISO 13940:2015. To be able to represent both clinical content and clinical context, ISO 13940:2015 is related to a generic healthcare/clinical process model as well as comprehensive concept definitions and concept models for the clinical, management and resource aspects of healthcare services.
In practice ISO 13940:2015 covers the concept definitions needed whenever structured information in healthcare is specified as a requirement. The definitions are intended to refer to the conceptual level only and not to details of implementation. ISO 13940:2015 will cover all levels of specifications in the development of
logical reference models within the information viewpoint as a common basis for semantic interoperability on international, national or local levels,
information systems, and
information for specified types of clinical processes.

Informatique de santé - Système de concepts en appui de la continuité des soins (ISO/DIS 13940:2024)
ISO 13940:2015 définit un système de concepts pour différents aspects de la prestation de soins de santé.
L'activité principale du domaine des soins de santé est l'interaction entre les sujets des soins et les professionnels de santé. Ce type d'interaction a lieu dans le cadre de processus cliniques ou de soins de santé, et constitue la justification de l'approche par processus de la présente norme. Pour pouvoir représenter à la fois le contenu clinique et le contexte clinique, la présente norme s'appuie sur un modèle générique de processus cliniques ou de soins de santé, ainsi que sur des définitions et des modèles de concepts globaux pour les aspects cliniques, de gestion et de ressources des prestations de santé.
Dans la pratique, la présente norme couvre les définitions de concepts requises, chaque fois que des informations structurées en matière de soins de santé sont spécifiées en tant qu'exigence. Les définitions renvoient uniquement au niveau conceptuel, et non, aux détails de mise en ?uvre. La présente Norme couvrira tous les niveaux de spécifications dans le cadre du développement:
- de modèles de référence logiques du point de vue de l'information, servant de base commune pour l'interopérabilité sémantique aux niveaux international, national ou local;
- de systèmes d'information et
- d'informations pour certains types spécifiques de processus cliniques.
ISO 13940:2015 ne traite pas de l'exécution des processus informatiques, cliniques et de soins de santé spécifiques.
Les processus de recherche et d'éducation en soins de santé ne sont pas traités dans la présente norme.

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/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

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 13940:2015), which has been technically
revised.

Introduction
0.1 General
Continuity is an important prerequisite for good and efficient care. An optimal order of investigating and
treating activities will promote a favourable outcome of the course of any health problem, be it a clinical
illness, a social problem or a physical injury. In order to achieve this continuity of care there are two major
requirements regarding planning and documentation of care: one of them is the common understanding
of processes in care; the other one is a common understanding of semantics in care. This document does
not standardise processes. Such standardisation can be found in other standard documents, for instance
ISO 12967, Health informatics – Service architecture (HISA) – where part 1, Enterprise viewpoint, describes
processes in the enterprise of care and how they should be represented in models and text. The purpose of
this document is to define generic concepts needed to achieve continuity of care. A subject of care will meet
care professionals in different organisations, and the exchange of information between these organisations
must be safe without conceptual ambiguity. At the same time all information must be clear to the reader in
order to prevent human misunderstanding.
Besides the support of care continuity, the concept system in this document also enables the use of care
information for other purposes such as secondary use for follow-up and knowledge management.
To cover continuity of care, concepts are therefore needed from all of these basic process aspects:
— care processes (in social care and clinical healthcare)
— management
— support
This system of concepts is based upon the enterprise perspective of care. All other areas of work in care
both relate to and interact with the care processes. As such, the management aspects of care are identified
in the process management areas, and similarly the resource support areas are correspondingly identified
in the processes. This architecture with the areas around the care process is described in Figure 1.
Conformance statements are entered in Annex A.
