Overview

ISO/IEEE 11073-10207:2019 - "Health informatics - Personal health device communication - Part 10207" defines a domain information and service model for service-oriented, point-of-care medical device communication. The standard specifies how medical information objects are structured and exchanged in distributed systems of point-of-care devices and medical IT systems. It provides a Participant Model derived from the IEEE 11073 Domain Information Model (IEEE 11073-10201) and an abstract Communication Model; all model elements are expressed using XML Schema. Network transport mechanisms are intentionally outside the scope.

Key topics

• Participant Model: structure and semantics for medical information objects (measurements, device settings, alerts, contextual data such as patient demographics and location, remote control and archival data).
• Communication Model: abstract, service-oriented framework to support exchange and management of the Participant Model objects.
• Data semantics: use of IEEE 11073 Nomenclature (IEEE 11073-10101) and support for other coding systems to convey meaning.
• XML Schema: formal specification of all model elements enabling implementation, validation and extensibility.
• Extensibility & interoperability: model designed to be extended via XML Schema while maintaining semantic interoperability across devices and systems.
• Scope limits: defines information models and services; does not define specific network transport protocols.

Applications

ISO/IEEE 11073-10207:2019 is targeted at systems and implementations requiring standardized, service-oriented point-of-care device information exchange:

• Real-time vital signs capture and electronic data capture at the bedside
• Clinical device networks in hospitals, ambulatory clinics and remote monitoring environments
• Integration of bedside monitors, infusion pumps, wearable personal health devices and EHR/medical IT systems
• Implementation of device remote-control services, alerting and archival of device and patient data
• Enabling plug-and-play interoperability for multi-vendor device ecosystems

Who uses this standard

• Medical device manufacturers implementing interoperable device data models
• Healthcare IT vendors and EHR integrators integrating point-of-care data flows
• System architects and engineers designing service-oriented medical device networks
• Clinical engineers and hospitals planning device integration and data capture
• Standards developers and testing bodies validating conformance to IEEE 11073 models

Related standards
