UNE-EN ISO/IEEE 11073-10206:2026

This standard defines an object-oriented abstract information model to represent a PHD and the observationsgenerated by a PHD. It specifies what information needs to be present and the relationships between theinformational elements in the model. It models observations in a generic way by focusing on the informationcontent contained in the presentation of health measurements. The modeling follows the practice ofISO/IEEE 11073-20601 [B12] where Unified Modeling Language (UML) is used to describe a set of objectsand the relationship between the objects.7 Tables provide descriptions of the attributes in the objects.IEEE 11073-10101"! nomenclature terms are used to express clinical content.8 This standard providesguidance as to what an exchange protocols needs to communicate to properly represent health observations,but is not, in itself, sufficient to be an exchange protocol. However, the content model defined herein doeshave sufficient detail to help organizations validate that there is no loss of the semantic content induced bydata exchanges in a protocol adhering to this standard. This standard does not define a security framework.
