Study Notes

International Standardization Organization (ISO) was established in 1947 to develop and publish international standards, including those for health informatics.
ISO TC215 is a committee for Health Informatics within ISO, which ratifies existing standards as full international standards.
HL7 International is a well-known and widely used data exchange standard in healthcare, founded in 1987 to standardize healthcare data exchange.
HL7 International has developed several key standards for health data exchange, including: Clinical Document Architecture (CDA), C-CDA, FHIR, and various sections and guides.
CDA is a set of standards that describes the structure and semantics of clinical data, covering various types of clinical documents like Consult Notes, Operative Notes, etc.
FHIR is a newer, internet-based data standard for health data exchange, taking a pragmatic approach to define simple structures and allowing for the development of apps and services.
Direct is a standard for secure exchange of health data over the internet, using email as an example.
HL7 also collaborates with other organizations and produces various types of standards documents, including Normative, Draft, Reference, and Informative.
There are several limitations to healthcare standards, such as difficulty in understanding and implementing, the need for source information adaptation, and the expectation of future uses.
There are around 22 different ICT standards in the healthcare domain, and seven main international organizations are involved in eHealth standards, including ISO, HL7 International, IHE, etc.
