Health informatics - System of concepts to support continuity of care (ISO 13940:2015)

This International Standard seeks to identify and define those processes which relate to co-operation between all parties involved in health care provided to human beings (to the exclusion of other living subjects). Given the definition of health as agreed by WHO, this International Standard will include those aspects of health care that rely on the acts of other actors than simply health care professionals. This International standard specifically addresses aspects of sharing information related to a subject of care that is needed in the process of health care. This International multi-part Standard addresses topics including: - health care actors and other parties; - organisational principles of health care, including co-operation between actors; - health issues, health conditions and their management; - time-related concepts like contacts, encounters, episodes of care and periods of care; - concepts related to process, workflow and activities; - concepts related to decision support, use of clinical knowledge and quality; - concepts related to responsibility and information flows within the clinical process, like health mandates and their notification; - concepts related to health data management. Whenever continuity of health care delivery implies social care activities as part of, or in support to, the process towards health recovery, these are to be mentioned wherever relevant in the process and workflow. In order to establish a common conceptual framework for continuity of care across national, cultural and professional barriers, all these concepts are defined in this document, and their inter-relationships identified.

Medizinische Informatik - System von Konzepten zur Unterstützung der ununterbrochenen Pflege (ISO 13940:2015)

Informatique de santé - Système de concepts en appui de la continuité des soins (ISO 13940:2015)

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.

Zdravstvena informatika - Sistem pojmov za podporo neprekinjeni oskrbi (ISO 13940:2015)

Namen tega mednarodnega standarda je opredelitev in določitev teh postopkov v zvezi s sodelovanjem med vsemi strankami na področju zdravstvene oskrbe ljudi (pri čemer so izključena druga živa bitja). Na podlagi definicije zdravja, ki jo je sprejela Svetovna zdravstvena organizacija, ta mednarodni standard vključuje tiste vidike zdravstvene oskrbe, ki temeljijo na dejavnostih drugih izvajalcev in ne zgolj zdravstvenih delavcev. Ta mednarodni standard obravnava zlasti vidike izmenjave informacij v zvezi z oskrbovancem, ki so potrebne v postopku zdravstvene oskrbe. Ta mednarodni standard vključuje več delov in med drugim obravnava naslednje teme: – izvajalci zdravstvene oskrbe in druge stranke; – organizacijska načela zdravstvene oskrbe, vključno s sodelovanjem med izvajalci; – zdravstvene težave, zdravstvena stanja in njihovo upravljanje; – časovno povezani koncepti, kot so stiki, srečanja ter epizode in obdobja oskrbe; – koncepti v zvezi s procesom, potekom dela in dejavnostmi; – koncepti v zvezi s podporo za odločanje, uporabo kliničnega znanja in kakovostjo; – koncepti v zvezi z odgovornostjo in pretoki informacij znotraj kliničnega procesa, npr. zdravstveni mandati in njihovo obveščanje; – koncepti v zvezi z upravljanjem podatkov o zdravju. Če neprekinjena zdravstvena oskrba obsega dejavnosti socialnega varstva kot del procesa okrevanja ali kot podporo temu procesu, morajo biti te dejavnosti navedene na ustreznih ravneh procesa in poteka dela. Za namene vzpostavitve skupnega konceptualnega okvirja za neprekinjeno oskrbo, ki presega nacionalne, kulturne ter strokovne omejitve, so v tem dokumentu opredeljeni vsi ti koncepti in njihove medsebojne povezave.

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).
