Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a form of traditional medicine that originated in China, and is characterized by holism and treatment based on pattern identification/syndrome differentiation. BS PD ISO/TS 18790-1:2015 establishes common concepts and a vocabulary for describing the complex domain of various Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) informatics standards initiatives and their supporting artefacts. It provides a useful profiling framework to align existing and developing TCM informatics standards and to reference health informatics standards. It promotes the reuse of TCM informatics knowledge and improves the identification of opportunities for TCM informatics standards alignment, collaboration, and coordination.

Topics considered outside the scope of this Technical Specification include:

• profiling framework and classification for informatics standards of Kampo, Korean medicine, and other traditional medicine.
