Health informatics - Patient healthcard data - Part 6: Administrative data (ISO 21549-6:2008)

This part of ISO 21549 is applicable to situations in which administrative data are recorded on or transported by patient healthcards compliant with the physical dimensions of ID-1 cards defined by ISO/IEC 7810. This part of ISO 21549 specifies the basic structure of the data contained within the data object administrative data, but does not specify or mandate particular data sets for storage on devices. The detailed functions and mechanisms of the following services are not within the scope of this part of ISO 21549, although its structures can accommodate suitable data objects elsewhere specified:
- the encoding of free text data;
- security functions and related services that are likely to be specified by users for data cards depending on their specific application, e.g. confidentiality protection, data integrity protection, and authentication of persons and devices related to these functions;
- access control services that may depend on active use of some data card classes such as
microprocessor cards;
- the initialization and issuing process (which begins the operating lifetime of an individual data card, and by which the data card is prepared for the data to be subsequently communicated to it according to this part of ISO 21549).
The following topics are therefore beyond the scope of this part of ISO 21549:
- physical or logical solutions for the practical functioning of particular types of data card;
- how the message is processed further downstream of the interface between two systems;
- the form which data take for use outside the data card, or the way in which such data are visibly
represented on the data card or elsewhere.

Informatique de santé - Données relatives aux cartes de santé des patients - Partie 6: Données administratives (ISO 21549-6:2008)

L'ISO 21549-6:2008 est applicable aux situations dans lesquelles des données administratives sont enregistrées ou transportées sur des cartes de santé de patient conformes aux dimensions physiques des cartes ID-1 définies par l'ISO/CEI 7810.
L'ISO 21549-6:2008 spécifie la structure de base des données contenues dans les données administratives se trouvant sur les cartes de santé, mais elle ne spécifie pas de jeu de données pour le stockage sur la carte et n'en impose pas non plus.
Les fonctions et les mécanismes détaillés des services ci-après ne relèvent pas du domaine d'application de l'ISO 21549-6:2008, bien que ces structures puissent prendre en charge des objets de cette nature, spécifiés par ailleurs:
le codage des données en texte clair;
les fonctions de sécurité et les services associés susceptibles d'être spécifiés par les utilisateurs de cartes de données selon leurs applications spécifiques, par exemple la protection des données confidentielles, la protection de l'intégrité des données et l'authentification des personnes et les dispositifs liés à ces fonctions;
services de contrôle de l'accès qui peuvent dépendre de l'utilisation active de certaines catégories de cartes de données, comme les cartes à microprocesseurs;
l'initialisation et le processus qui en découle (qui débute la durée de vie d'une carte individuelle et par lequel la carte de données est préparée pour les données qui seront communiquées ultérieurement, conformément à l'ISO 21549-6:2008).

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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
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.
ISO 21549-6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 215, Health informatics.
ISO 21549 consists of the following parts, under the general title Health informatics — Patient healthcard data:
⎯ Part 1: General structure
⎯ Part 2: Common objects

Introduction
With a more mobile population, greater healthcare delivery in the community and at patients’ homes, together
with a growing demand for improved quality of ambulatory care, portable information systems and stores have
increasingly been developed and used. Such devices are used for tasks ranging from identification, through
portable medical record files, and on to patient-transportable monitoring systems.
The functions of such devices are to carry and to transmit person-identifiable information between themselves
and other systems; therefore, during their operational lifetime they may share information with many
technologically different systems which differ greatly in their functions and capabilities.
Healthcare administration increasingly relies upon similar automated identification systems. For instance
prescriptions may be automated and data exchange carried out at a number of sites using patient
transportable computer readable devices. Healthcare funding institutions and providers are increasingly
involved in cross-region care, where reimbursement may require automated data exchange between
dissimilar healthcare systems. Administrative data objects may require linkage to external parties responsible
for their own domains which are not within the scope of this part of ISO 21549. For instance, cross-border
reimbursement of healthcare services are usually regulated by law and intergovernmental agreements which
are not subject to standardization.
The advent of remotely accessible data bases and support systems has led to the development and use of
“Healthcare Person” identification devices that are also able to perform security functions and transmit digital
signatures to remote systems via networks.
With the growing use of data cards for practical everyday healthcare delivery, the need has arisen for a
standardized data format for interchange.
The person-related data carried by a data card can be categorised in three broad types: identification (of the
device itself and the individual to whom the data it carries relates), administrative and clinical. It is important to
realise that a given healthcare data card “de facto” has to contain device data and identification data and may
in addition contain administrative, clinical, medication and linkage data.
Device data are defined to include:
⎯ identification of the device itself;
⎯ identification of the functions and functioning capabilities of the device.
Identification data can include:
⎯ unique identification of the device holder (and not information of other persons!).
Administrative data can include:
⎯ complementary person(s) related data;
⎯ identification of the funding of healthcare, whether public or private, and their relationships, i.e. insurer(s),
contract(s) and policy(ies) or types of benefits;
⎯ identification of other persons as a part of the insurance contract (e.g. a family contract);
⎯ other data (distinguishable from clinical data) that are necessary for
