Health Informatics - Business requirements for a syntax to exchange structured dose information for medicinal products (ISO/TS 17251:2016)

ISO/TS 17251:2016 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.
NOTE See 2.9, note to entry, regarding the use of "medication order" and "prescription".
Comprehension of dose instructions by the patient is an overarching consideration for patient safety and the best patient outcomes. Related factors are discussed, but are not part of the primary scope.
It 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 ISO/TS 17251:2016 are:
- 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:
- wide range of knowledge about medicines that would be handled in drug knowledge databases and decision support systems;
- the complete medical record (EHR);
- a medicinal product dictionary.

Zdravstvena informatika - Poslovne zahteve za sintakso za izmenjavo strukturiranih podatkov odmerkov za zdravila (ISO/TS 17251:2016)

ISO/TS 17251:2016 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.
OPOMBA: Glej točko 2.9, opomba k izrazu, v zvezi z uporabo izrazov »naročilo zdravila« in »recept«.
Bolnikovo razumevanje navodil za odmerke je najpomembnejši vidik za zagotavljanje njegove varnosti in najboljših rezultatov zdravljenja. Obravnavani so povezani dejavniki, ki pa niso del primarnega področja uporabe.
Standard ne določa informacijskega modela, razen v obsegu, v katerem so ti koncepti informacijskega modela potrebni za opredelitev poslovnih zahtev.
Naslednji vidiki ne spadajo na področje uporabe standarda:ISO/TS 17251:2016:
– 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:
– širok obseg znanja o zdravilih, vključenih v podatkovnih zbirkah znanja o zdravilih in sistemih za zagotavljanje podpore za sprejemanje odločitev;
– celovit elektronski zdravstveni zapis;
– slovar zdravil.

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).

Introduction
The requirements for the exchange of structured dose instructions are intended to be independent
of any technology standard or software platform and have been developed with the aim of specifying
the necessary clinical and business requirements precisely and unambiguously. Implementation
of the requirements within a suitable medium designed to support communication of healthcare
information can provide support to clinicians and their applications in storing, retrieving, using, and
above all, communicating dose instructions information to other clinicians, their applications, and most
importantly, to the patient.
The primary audiences for this Technical Specification are software developers building clinical IT
systems.

process of health care providers, such as:
— wide range of knowledge about medicines that would be handled in drug knowledge databases
and decision support systems;
— the complete medical record (EHR);
— a medicinal product dictionary.
2 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
2.1
dose instructions
instructions pertaining to the medication, which describe the amount of medication per dose, method
of administration, the frequency or interval of dose, associated instructions for dosing or skipped doses,
and other associated parameters necessary for appropriate administration of the medication
2.2

or language-specific grammatical rules
2.5
semi-structured information
information containing both structured content and unstructured content
2.6
sig
directions to be written on a package or label for the use of the patient
Note 1 to entry: Sig (sometimes written as SIG) appears to be an acronym, but is an abbreviation of the Latin term
“signā”.
Note 2 to entry: In the context of this Technical Specification, “sig” had the same meaning as “dose instructions”
(see 4.1).
2.7
storage and handling information
information provided to the patient/caregiver regarding the appropriated conditions to maximize the
shelf life of the medicinal product
Note 1 to entry: While essential information, this does not directly relate to administration and is not within the
scope of this Technical Specification.
2.8
medication order
documented instruction on intended therapy for an individual person with a medicinal product issued
by an authorized health professional
Note 1 to entry: There is no inherent limitation on the setting for the medication order (inpatient, ambulatory, etc.).
[SOURCE: ISO/TR 22790:2007]
2.9
prescription
directions created by an authorized health professional to instruct a dispensing agent regarding the
preparation and use of a medicinal product or medicinal appliance to be taken or used by a subject of care
Note 1 to entry: In the context of this Technical Specification, “prescription” or “medication order” could be
used. We have chosen to use “medication order”. In this sense, we imply that “medication order” is inclusive of
“prescription.”
[SOURCE: ISO/TR 22790:2007]
2.10
message syntax
structured set of data elements which represent the medication order in a consistent computable format
3 Conformance
Systems that create or consume electronic medication orders can claim conformance to this Technical

4 Business requirements for structured dose instructions
4.1 General
The business requirements for structured dose information shall focus on the primary goal of ensuring
that the patient receives the appropriate medication dose at the appropriate time in a consistent
manner. In addition to the patient-centric aspects, certain information is required to achieve this goal.
The following requirements address both patient and information aspects.
NOTE The following conformance statements refer to either, or both, the message syntax and the dose
syntax. Requirements which are not unique to the dose instructions, or useful in other components of a
medication order, are described as part of the “message syntax”. Requirements which are specific to the dose
instructions are described as part of the “dose syntax”.
4.2 Use cases
Dose instructions serve the following use cases.
