What is ISO 12967-3 — Computational viewpoint of health informatics about?
ISO 12967-3 is the third part of an international standard that discusses aspects of health informatics. ISO 12967-3 specifies the fundamental characteristics of the computational model implemented by a specific architectural layer of the information system to provide a comprehensive and integrated interface to the common enterprise information as well as to support the fundamental business processes of the healthcare organization.
ISO 12967-3 specifies the computational model that provides the basis for ensuring consistency between different engineering and technology specifications since they are intended to be consistent with the same computational object model.
Who is ISO 12967-3— Computational viewpoint of health informatics for?
ISO 12967-3 on computational viewpoint of health informatics is useful for:
- Public Health care organizations
- Nursing organizations
- Data analysis companies for hospitals
- Medical and biomedical organizations
- Bioinformatics companies
Why should you use ISO 12967-3— Computational viewpoint of health informatics?
ISO 12967 series specifies fundamental requirements to users for 'information infrastructure' and provides beneficial guidance for the description, planning, and development of new systems as well as for the integration of existing information systems. Both are within one enterprise and across different healthcare organizations through an architecture integrating the common data and business logic into a specific architectural layer, distinct from individual applications and accessible throughout the whole information system through information services.
ISO 12967-3 specifies the scope and characteristics of the information services that should be provided by the service architecture for allowing access to the common data as well as for the execution of the business logic supporting the enterprise processes identified in the information viewpoint.
ISO 12967-3 provides beneficial guidance on how one individual enterprise can specify additional information services needed to support local specific requirements in terms of common business logic to be implemented.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN ISO 12967-3:2020 supersedes BS EN ISO 12967-3:2011, which is withdrawn. BS EN ISO 12967-3:2020 includes some technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- Use of terms, definitions, and concepts from ISO 13940:2015
- Reference to further standards, such as HL7 and FHIR
- Updates to the Bibliography
