DANSK DSF/ISO/IEEE FDIS 11073-10207 [ Draft ]

The scope of this standard is the definition and structuring of information that is communicated in a distributed system of point-of-care medical devices and medical information technology (IT) systems in which medical data needs to be exchanged or networked point-of-care medical devices need to be controlled. The standard provides a Participant Model and Communication Model derived from the IEEE 11073™ Domain Information Model (IEEE 11073-10201™ DIM). Furthermore, it utilizes the IEEE 11073 Nomenclature (IEEE 11073-10101™) and supports other coding systems to convey the semantics of any information elements.1 The definition of network transport mechanisms is outside the scope of this standard.
