BS ISO 22077-1:2015

1   Scope This International Standard specifies how medical waveforms , such as electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, spirometry waveform, etc., are described for interoperability among healthcare information systems. This International Standard may be used with other relevant protocols, such as HL7, DICOM, ISO/IEEE 11073, and database management systems for each purpose. This is a general specification, so specifications for particular waveform types and for harmonization with DICOM, SCP-ECG, X73, etc. are not given. This International Standard does not include lower layer protocols for message exchange. For example, a critical real-time application like a patient monitoring system is out of scope and this is an implementation issue.
