ISO 13940:2015 defines a system of concepts for different aspects of the provision of healthcare.The core business in healthcare is the interaction between subjects of care and healthcare professionals. Such interactions occur in healthcare/clinical processes and are the justification for the process approach of ISO 13940:2015. To be able to represent both clinical content and clinical context, ISO 13940:2015 is related to a generic healthcare/clinical process model as well as comprehensive concept definitions and concept models for the clinical, management and resource aspects of healthcare services.In practice ISO 13940:2015 covers the concept definitions needed whenever structured information in healthcare is specified as a requirement. The definitions are intended to refer to the conceptual level only and not to details of implementation. ISO 13940:2015 will cover all levels of specifications in the development oflogical reference models within the information viewpoint as a common basis for semantic interoperability on international, national or local levels,information systems, andinformation for specified types of clinical processes.
