IEEE 11073-10207-2017

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. The definition of network transport mechanisms is outside the scope of this standard.

The purpose of this standard is to enable vendors of point-of-care medical devices and medical IT systems to constitute networked medical device applications from the perspective of domain experts. Therefore, this standard provides tools to virtually model point-of-care medical devices. Moreover, it defines a service oriented architecture to access those networked-based point-of-care medical devices

New IEEE Standard - Active. Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073™ family of standards for point-of-care medical device communication, a Participant Model derived from the ISO/IEEE11073-10201 Domain Information Model is provided in this standard. The Participant Model specifies the structure of medical information objects. This standard also defines an abstract Communication Model to support the exchange of medical information objects. All elements of the Participant Model and Communication Model are specified using XML Schema. Core subjects of the Participant Model comprise modelling of medical device-related data, e.g., measurements and settings, alert systems, contextual information (e.g., patient demographics and location information), remote control, and archival information. Model extensibility is provided inherently through the use of XML Schema.textual information like patient demographics and location information, remote control, and archival. Model extensibility is provided inherently through the use of XML Schema. (Additional files are available for this standard at http://standards.ieee.org/downloads/11073/)
