ISO/IEEE Draft International Standard for Health Informatics - Point-of-care medical device communication - Application profiles - Base Standard
Abstract
The scope of this standard is upper-layer (i.e. ISO OSI Application, Presentation, and Session) services and protocols for information exchange under ISO/IEEE 11073 Standards for Medical Device Communications (MDC). This standard is the Base Standard of the IEEE 1073.2, Medical Device Application Profiles (MDAP), as harmonized through CEN and ISO. (Renumbered from P1073.2.1.1)Scope
This standard will define the base message syntax and data encoding for medical device application profiles. The definitions will augment and in some cases optimize related industry standards, chiefly ISO Systems Management standards, particularly with respect to cost-performance improvements for real-time medical data communication. It is limited to upper-layer (i.e., ISO OSI Application, Presentation, and Session) services and protocols used for medical device communication. As a base standards, it neither defines application-specific content of messages nor specific application profiles.
Purpose
This standard is needed to provide the basis for translating abstract message definitions, defined in the IEEE 1073.1.x set of standards, into an encoded data stream that can be communicated between systems. It also provides a common ("base") set of definitions that are used by application profiles to accomplish plug-and-play interoperability between medical devices and with patient care information systems.
