Abstract
The IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society has been sponsoring the PI 157 working group’s development of a standard for exchange of data between Hospital Information Systems (HIS). This work to date has focused on the following objectives: 1. Support both inter- and intramedical center communications, among patient care settings and ancillary services. 2. Do not assume a particular decomposition of the health care system into subsystems. 3. Structure the standard in a flexible manner so that multiple subsets of features are allowed. 4. Provide a framework allowing the migration of applicable health care standards into a common reference model. 5. Define a standard set of interface transactions which allow health care information systems to exchange data. 6. Specify standard representations of transaction data items, while allowing for domain-specific variations. 7. Ensure data integrity, consistency, security, reliability, and ownership. 8. Ensure compatibility of multiple vendor systems at the application interface through the use of ISO/OSI Application Service Element standard protocols. 9. Ensure that successive protocol versions are compatible.
