Health informatics - Electronic health record communication - Part 2: Archetype interchange specification (ISO 13606-2:2019)
This part of ISO 13606 specifies the information architecture required for interoperable communications between systems and services that need or provide EHR data. This part of ISO 13606 is not intended to specify the internal architecture or database design of such systems.
The subject of the record or record extract to be communicated is an individual person, and the scope of the communication is predominantly with respect to that person's care.
Uses of healthcare records for other purposes such as administration, management, research and epidemiology, which require aggregations of individual people's records, are not the focus of this part of ISO 13606 but such secondary uses could also find this document useful.
This part of ISO 13606 defines an archetype model to be used to represent archetypes when communicated between repositories, and between archetype services. It defines an optional serialized representation, which may be used as an exchange format for communicating individual archetypes. Such communication might, for example, be between archetype libraries or between an archetype service and an EHR persistence or validation service.

Informatique de santé - Communication du dossier de santé informatisé - Partie 2: Spécification d'échange d'archétype (ISO 13606-2:2019)
Le présent document spécifie un moyen de communication de tout ou partie du dossier de santé informatisé (DSI) d'un seul ou de plusieurs sujets des soins identifiés entre systèmes de DSI, ou entre des systèmes de DSI et un référentiel de données de DSI centralisé.
Il peut également être utilisé pour la communication de DSI entre un système ou référentiel de DSI et des applications médicales ou composants intergiciels (tels que des composants d'aide à la prise de décision) nécessitant d'avoir d'accès aux ou de fournir des données DSI, ou pour la représentation des données DSI dans un système réparti (fédéré).
Le présent document est destiné à être principalement utilisé pour prendre en charge les soins directs dispensés à des personnes identifiables, ou les systèmes d'observation de la population tels que les registres de maladies et l'observation de la santé publique. L'utilisation des dossiers de santé pour d'autres finalités telles que l'enseignement, l'évaluation médicale, l'administration et l'établissement de rapports, la gestion des services de santé, la recherche et l'épidémiologie, qui exigent souvent l'anonymisation ou l'agrégation de dossiers individuels, ne constitue pas l'objet de la présente série de normes; néanmoins, ces applications secondaires sont susceptibles d'y trouver un intérêt.
Le présent document définit un modèle d'archétype à utiliser pour représenter des archétypes lorsqu'ils sont communiqués entre des référentiels et entre des services d'archétypes. Il définit une représentation en série facultative qui peut être utilisée comme format d'échange pour la communication d'archétypes individuels. Cette communication peut par exemple avoir lieu entre des bibliothèques d'archétypes ou entre un service d'archétype et un service de permanence ou de validation de DSI.
Zdravstvena informatika - Komunikacija z elektronskimi zdravstvenimi zapisi - 2. del: Specifikacija za zamenjavo arhetipov (ISO 13606-2:2019)
Ta del standarda ISO 13606 določa informacijsko arhitekturo, ki je potrebna za interoperabilno komunikacijo med sistemi in storitvami, ki potrebujejo ali zagotavljajo podatke EHR. Namen tega dela standarda ISO 13606 ni določitev notranje arhitekture ali oblikovanje podatkovne baze takih sistemov.
Predmet kartoteke ali izvlečka kartoteke, ki ga je treba posredovati, je posameznik, posredovano sporočilo pa večinoma obsega podatke v zvezi z oskrbo tega posameznika.
Uporaba zdravstvenih kartotek za druge namene, kot so upravljanje, vodenje, raziskave in epidemiologija, ki zahtevajo združevanje kartotek posameznikov, niso osrednji predmet tega dela standarda ISO 13606, vendar je ta dokument lahko uporaben tudi za tovrstno sekundarno uporabo.
Ta del ISO 13606 določa model arhetipa, ki se uporablja za predstavljanje arhetipov pri komuniciranju med zbirkami podatkov in med storitvami arhetipa. Določa poljubno serializirano predstavitev, ki se lahko uporablja kot oblika izmenjave za posredovanje posameznih arhetipov. Taka komunikacija lahko na primer poteka med knjižnicami arhetipov ali med storitvijo arhetipa in storitvijo EHR za vzdrževanje ali preverjanje.

Introduction
This document is part of a five-part standard series, published jointly by CEN and ISO through the
Vienna Agreement. In this document dependency upon any of the other parts of this series is explicitly
stated where it applies.
Comprehensive, multi-enterprise and longitudinal electronic health records will often in practice be
achieved through the joining up of multiple clinical applications, databases (and increasingly devices)
that are each tailored to the needs of individual conditions, specialties or enterprises.
This requires that Electronic Health Record (EHR) data from diverse systems be capable of being
mapped to and from a single comprehensive representation, which is used to underpin interfaces
and messages within a distributed network (federation) of EHR systems and services. This common
representation has to be sufficiently generic and rich to represent any conceivable health record data,
comprising part or all of an EHR (or a set of EHRs) being communicated.
The approach adopted in the ISO 13606 standards series, underpinned by international research on the
EHR, has been to define a rigorous and generic Reference Model that is suitable for all kinds of data and
data structures within an EHR, and in which all labelling and context information is an integral part of
each construct. An EHR Extract (as defined in ISO 13606-1) will contain all of the names, structure and
context required for it to be interpreted faithfully on receipt even if its organisation and the nature of
the clinical content have not been “agreed” in advance.
However, the wide-scale sharing of health records, and their meaningful analysis across distributed
sites, also requires that a consistent approach is used for the clinical (semantic) data structures that
will be communicated via the Reference Model, so that equivalent clinical information is represented
consistently. This is necessary in order for clinical applications and analysis tools safely to process EHR
data that have come from heterogeneous sources.
0.1 Archetypes
The challenge for EHR interoperability is therefore to devise a generalised approach to representing
every conceivable kind of health record data structure in a consistent way. This needs to cater for
records arising from any profession, speciality or service, whilst recognising that the clinical data sets,
value sets, templates etc. required by different health care domains will be diverse, complex and will
change frequently as clinical practice and medical knowledge advance. This requirement is part of the
widely acknowledged health informatics challenge of semantic interoperability.
The approach adopted by this standard series distinguishes a Reference Model, used to represent the
generic properties of health record information, and Archetypes (conforming to an Archetype Model),
which are meta-data used to define patterns for the specific characteristics of the clinical data that
represent the requirements of each particular profession, speciality or service.
The Reference Model is specified as an Open Distributed Processing (ODP) Information Viewpoint
model, representing the global characteristics of health record components, how they are aggregated,
and the context information required to meet ethical, legal and provenance requirements. In the 13606
standards series, the Reference Model is defined in Part 1. This model defines the set of classes that
form the generic building blocks of the EHR. It reflects the stable characteristics of an electronic health
record, and would be embedded in a distributed (federated) EHR environment as specific messages or
interfaces (as specified in Part 5 of this standard series).
Archetypes are effectively pre-coordinated combinations of named RECORD_COMPONENT hierarchies
that are agreed within a community in order to ensure semantic interoperability, data consistency and
data quality.
For an EHR_EXTRACT, as defined in ISO 13606-1, an archetype specifies (and effectively constrains)
a particular hierarchy of RECORD_COMPONENT sub-classes, defining or constraining their names
and other relevant attribute values, optionality and multiplicity at any point in the hierarchy, the
datatypes and value ranges that ELEMENT data values can take, and might include other dependency
constraints. Archetype instances themselves conform to a formal model, known as an Archetype Model

SIST EN ISO 13606-2:2019
ISO 13606-2:2019(E)
(which is a constraint model, also specified as an ODP Information Viewpoint Model). Although the
Archetype Model is stable, individual archetype instances can be revised or succeeded by others as
clinical practice evolves. Version control ensures that new revisions do not invalidate data created with
previous revisions.
Archetypes can be used within EHR systems to govern the EHR data committed to a repository.
However, for the purposes of this interoperability standard series, no assumption is made about the
use of archetypes within the EHR Provider system whenever this standard series is used for EHR
communication. It is assumed that the original EHR data, if not already archetyped, can be mapped to a
set of archetypes, if desired, when generating the EHR_EXTRACT.
The reference model defined in ISO 13606-1 has a property that can be used to specify the archetype
to which any RECORD_COMPONENT within an EHR_EXTRACT conforms. The class RECORD_
COMPONENT includes an attribute archetype_id to identify the archetype and node to which that
RECORD_COMPONENT conforms.
Part 3 of this standard series includes a set of Reference Archetypes: which are base archetypes that
are likely to be specialised further before they are used. Those archetypes are example instances of
this Archetype Model.
The Archetype Model specified in this document was originally developed by the openEHR Foundation,
which publishes its archetypes using Archetype Definition Language, conforming to this Archetype
Model, referenced within Annex A. The Archetype Model has been the subject of collaborative updating
to incorporate the requirements and modelling inputs from the Clinical Information Modeling Initiative
(CIMI). CIMI is in the process of submitting a modelling language (Archetype Modeling Language, AML)
to the Object Management Group. AML also aligns to this Archetype Model.
0.2 Archetype datatypes
It should be noted that ISO 13606-1 and ISO 13606-2 use datatypes for different purposes.
Part 1 defines datatypes to represent the properties of the Reference Model, as a profile of ISO 21090,
in 5.3. It separately defines in Clause 7 the data types that can be the values of Element, also a subset
of ISO 21090. All these datatypes are finally expressed in terms of the so-called “primitive” datatypes
(Integer, Real, String, Boolean, Date/Time/Datetime).
Part 2 uses the same set of primitive datatypes to represent the properties of the Archetype Object
Model. Additionally, Part 2 defines a set of classes that allow defining constraints over primitive
datatypes of Part 1. These constraining classes are shown in Figure 9 of Part 2, as descendants of the
C_PRIMITIVE_OBJECT class.
A single Part 1 complex datatype (e.g. PHYSICAL_QUANTITY) can be constrained by a combination of
the constraining classes of the Archetype Object Model, defining constraints on both the complex and
primitive datatypes it contains. Thus, Part 1 complex datatypes are treated as classes when defining
constraints with Part 2, while Part 1 primitive data types are constrained by the C_PRIMITIVE_OBJECT
hierarchy.
An example of a PHYSICAL_QUANTITY archetype can be seen in the example below. In this example,
the value on a PHYSICAL_QUANTITY shall be between 0.0 and 1000.0 and their units shall be UCUM
‘mm[Hg]’ code.
PHYSICAL_QUANTITY matches {
value matches {|0.0.<1000.0|}
units matches {
CODED_SIMPLE matches {
value matches {"mm[Hg]"}

}
}
}
This example archetype, expressed in terms of the Archetype Object Model, would have the structure
shown in Table 1.
Table 1 — Example structure for representing physical quantity
Reference Model class, attribute or primitive
Archetype Model constraining class
value
PHYSICAL_QUANTITY C_COMPLEX_OBJECT
value C_ATTRIBUTE
Real C_REAL
units C_ATTRIBUTE
CODED_SIMPLE C_COMPLEX_OBJECT
value C_ATTRIBUTE
String C_STRING
Since the Archetype Object Model is also used to constrain other reference models, as for example
the openEHR Reference Model, there will be a need to transform openEHR archetypes to ISO 13606
archetypes, and vice versa. The openEHR Reference Model also uses the same primitive datatypes, but
1)
includes a different set of complex datatypes, such as DV_ORDINAL, or DV_TEXT . When transforming
an openEHR archetype constraint to an ISO 13606 archetype, it might be necessary to introduce an
additional CLUSTER structure to represent the equivalent openEHR sub-components as ELEMENTs.
For example, a representation of an openEHR DV_ORDINAL in ISO 13606 would have the structure
shown in Table 2.
Table 2 — Example structure for representing an ordinal data value
openEHR ISO 13606
DV_ORDINAL CLUSTER matches { -- DV_ORDINAL
parts matches {
symbol ELEMENT matches { -- symbol
value matches {
DV_CODED_TEXT CODED_VALUE matches {*}
}
}
value ELEMENT matches { -- value
value matches {
Integer INTEGER matches {*}
}
}
}
}
An example of how the LINK class defined in Part 1 of this standard series can be represented using the
Archetype Object Model defined in this document is given in Annex B.

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).

— Replace string archetype identifier with multi-part, namespace identifier.
— Addition of explicit value-sets replacing in-line value sets in the terms and definitions.
— Renaming archetype ontology section to terminology.
— Expression of all external term bindings as URIs following IHTSDO format.
— Introduction of ‘tuple’ constraints for co-varying attributes within Quantity, Ordinal structures.
— Re-engineering of all primitive constrainer types, i.e. C_STRING, C_DATE etc.
— Removal of the Archetype Profile specification.
— Full specialisation support: the addition of an attribute to the C_ATTRIBUTE class, allowing the
inclusion of a path that enables specialised archetype redefinitions deep within a structure.
— Addition of node-level annotations.
— Structural simplification of archetype ontology section.
— The name of the invariant section has been changed to rules, to better reflect its purpose.
— A template is now just an archetype.

Introduction
This document is part of a five-part standard series, published jointly by CEN and ISO through the
Vienna Agreement. In this document dependency upon any of the other parts of this series is explicitly
stated where it applies.
Comprehensive, multi-enterprise and longitudinal electronic health records will often in practice be
achieved through the joining up of multiple clinical applications, databases (and increasingly devices)
that are each tailored to the needs of individual conditions, specialties or enterprises.
This requires that Electronic Health Record (EHR) data from diverse systems be capable of being
mapped to and from a single comprehensive representation, which is used to underpin interfaces
and messages within a distributed network (federation) of EHR systems and services. This common
representation has to be sufficiently generic and rich to represent any conceivable health record data,
comprising part or all of an EHR (or a set of EHRs) being communicated.
The approach adopted in the ISO 13606 standards series, underpinned by international research on the
EHR, has been to define a rigorous and generic Reference Model that is suitable for all kinds of data and
data structures within an EHR, and in which all labelling and context information is an integral part of
each construct. An EHR Extract (as defined in ISO 13606-1) will contain all of the names, structure and
context required for it to be interpreted faithfully on receipt even if its organisation and the nature of
the clinical content have not been “agreed” in advance.
However, the wide-scale sharing of health records, and their meaningful analysis across distributed
sites, also requires that a consistent approach is used for the clinical (semantic) data structures that
will be communicated via the Reference Model, so that equivalent clinical information is represented
consistently. This is necessary in order for clinical applications and analysis tools safely to process EHR
data that have come from heterogeneous sources.
0.1 Archetypes
The challenge for EHR interoperability is therefore to devise a generalised approach to representing
every conceivable kind of health record data structure in a consistent way. This needs to cater for
records arising from any profession, speciality or service, whilst recognising that the clinical data sets,
value sets, templates etc. required by different health care domains will be diverse, complex and will
change frequently as clinical practice and medical knowledge advance. This requirement is part of the
widely acknowledged health informatics challenge of semantic interoperability.
The approach adopted by this standard series distinguishes a Reference Model, used to represent the
generic properties of health record information, and Archetypes (conforming to an Archetype Model),
which are meta-data used to define patterns for the specific characteristics of the clinical data that
represent the requirements of each particular profession, speciality or service.
The Reference Model is specified as an Open Distributed Processing (ODP) Information Viewpoint
model, representing the global characteristics of health record components, how they are aggregated,
and the context information required to meet ethical, legal and provenance requirements. In the 13606
standards series, the Reference Model is defined in Part 1. This model defines the set of classes that
form the generic building blocks of the EHR. It reflects the stable characteristics of an electronic health
record, and would be embedded in a distributed (federated) EHR environment as specific messages or
interfaces (as specified in Part 5 of this standard series).
Archetypes are effectively pre-coordinated combinations of named RECORD_COMPONENT hierarchies
that are agreed within a community in order to ensure semantic interoperability, data consistency and
data quality.
For an EHR_EXTRACT, as defined in ISO 13606-1, an archetype specifies (and effectively constrains)
a particular hierarchy of RECORD_COMPONENT sub-classes, defining or constraining their names
and other relevant attribute values, optionality and multiplicity at any point in the hierarchy, the
datatypes and value ranges that ELEMENT data values can take, and might include other dependency
constraints. Archetype instances themselves conform to a formal model, known as an Archetype Model

ISO 13606-2:2019(E)
(which is a constraint model, also specified as an ODP Information Viewpoint Model). Although the
Archetype Model is stable, individual archetype instances can be revised or succeeded by others as
clinical practice evolves. Version control ensures that new revisions do not invalidate data created with
previous revisions.
Archetypes can be used within EHR systems to govern the EHR data committed to a repository.
However, for the purposes of this interoperability standard series, no assumption is made about the
use of archetypes within the EHR Provider system whenever this standard series is used for EHR
communication. It is assumed that the original EHR data, if not already archetyped, can be mapped to a
set of archetypes, if desired, when generating the EHR_EXTRACT.
The reference model defined in ISO 13606-1 has a property that can be used to specify the archetype
to which any RECORD_COMPONENT within an EHR_EXTRACT conforms. The class RECORD_
COMPONENT includes an attribute archetype_id to identify the archetype and node to which that
RECORD_COMPONENT conforms.
Part 3 of this standard series includes a set of Reference Archetypes: which are base archetypes that
are likely to be specialised further before they are used. Those archetypes are example instances of
this Archetype Model.
The Archetype Model specified in this document was originally developed by the openEHR Foundation,
which publishes its archetypes using Archetype Definition Language, conforming to this Archetype
Model, referenced within Annex A. The Archetype Model has been the subject of collaborative updating
to incorporate the requirements and modelling inputs from the Clinical Information Modeling Initiative
(CIMI). CIMI is in the process of submitting a modelling language (Archetype Modeling Language, AML)
to the Object Management Group. AML also aligns to this Archetype Model.
0.2 Archetype datatypes
It should be noted that ISO 13606-1 and ISO 13606-2 use datatypes for different purposes.
Part 1 defines datatypes to represent the properties of the Reference Model, as a profile of ISO 21090,
in 5.3. It separately defines in Clause 7 the data types that can be the values of Element, also a subset
of ISO 21090. All these datatypes are finally expressed in terms of the so-called “primitive” datatypes
(Integer, Real, String, Boolean, Date/Time/Datetime).
Part 2 uses the same set of primitive datatypes to represent the properties of the Archetype Object
Model. Additionally, Part 2 defines a set of classes that allow defining constraints over primitive
datatypes of Part 1. These constraining classes are shown in Figure 9 of Part 2, as descendants of the
C_PRIMITIVE_OBJECT class.
A single Part 1 complex datatype (e.g. PHYSICAL_QUANTITY) can be constrained by a combination of
the constraining classes of the Archetype Object Model, defining constraints on both the complex and
primitive datatypes it contains. Thus, Part 1 complex datatypes are treated as classes when defining
constraints with Part 2, while Part 1 primitive data types are constrained by the C_PRIMITIVE_OBJECT
hierarchy.
An example of a PHYSICAL_QUANTITY archetype can be seen in the example below. In this example,
the value on a PHYSICAL_QUANTITY shall be between 0.0 and 1000.0 and their units shall be UCUM
‘mm[Hg]’ code.
PHYSICAL_QUANTITY matches {
value matches {|0.0.<1000.0|}
units matches {
CODED_SIMPLE matches {
value matches {"mm[Hg]"}

}
This example archetype, expressed in terms of the Archetype Object Model, would have the structure
shown in Table 1.
Table 1 — Example structure for representing physical quantity
Reference Model class, attribute or primitive
Archetype Model constraining class
value
PHYSICAL_QUANTITY C_COMPLEX_OBJECT
value C_ATTRIBUTE
Real C_REAL
units C_ATTRIBUTE
CODED_SIMPLE C_COMPLEX_OBJECT
value C_ATTRIBUTE
String C_STRING
Since the Archetype Object Model is also used to constrain other reference models, as for example
the openEHR Reference Model, there will be a need to transform openEHR archetypes to ISO 13606
archetypes, and vice versa. The openEHR Reference Model also uses the same primitive datatypes, but
1)
includes a different set of complex datatypes, such as DV_ORDINAL, or DV_TEXT . When transforming
an openEHR archetype constraint to an ISO 13606 archetype, it might be necessary to introduce an
additional CLUSTER structure to represent the equivalent openEHR sub-components as ELEMENTs.
For example, a representation of an openEHR DV_ORDINAL in ISO 13606 would have the structure
shown in Table 2.
Table 2 — Example structure for representing an ordinal data value
openEHR ISO 13606
DV_ORDINAL CLUSTER matches { -- DV_ORDINAL
parts matches {
symbol ELEMENT matches { -- symbol
value matches {
DV_CODED_TEXT CODED_VALUE matches {*}
}
}
value ELEMENT matches { -- value
value matches {
Integer INTEGER matches {*}
}
}
}
}
An example of how the LINK class defined in Part 1 of this standard series can be represented using the
Archetype Object Model defined in this document is given in Annex B.
