DIN Standards Committee Health Technologies

Overview

With the publication of International Standard to Part 8 "Links" of the DIN EN ISO 21549 standard series "Health informatics - Patient healthcard data", the final part of this standard series is accessible to the professional public. This International Standard is applicable to situations in which such data is recorded on or transported by patient healthcards compliant with the physical dimensions of ID-1 cards defined by ISO 7810. This standard specifies a way to facilitate access to distributed patient records and/or administrative information using health cards. It defines the structure and elements of "links" typically stored in health cards and representing references to individual patients' records as well as to subcomponents of them. Access control mechanisms, data protection mechanisms, access methods and other security services are outside the scope of this part of standard ISO 21549. Technical Section 7 "Medizinische Informatik" ("Health informatics") and particularly the collaborators in Working Group NA 063-07-05 AA "Karten" ("Healthcards") of NAMed have contributed to the preparation of the standard.
