Some interesting statements in what appears to be the first CEN TC251 'newsletter' (available here <http://www.ehealth-interop.nen.nl/publicaties/5092&details=true>) [my emphasis]:
Electronic Health Records come of age: 13606 The first ever EHR architecture was standardised in CEN TC251 as ENV 12265 in 1996. It is now better known as 13606. In 2012, the 4th revision is now underway as a joint initiative between CEN TC251 and ISO. *The scope of 13606 is to remain unchanged; it is designed to exchange part or all of a health record between different manufacturer's systems*, and to do so safely, without loss of meaning and without loss of any original context. As requirements become clearer and specifications become more mature, *it is intended that the new revision of 13606 will be harmonised with both CDA and openEHR*. The explicit mandate to the project team is to remove the confusion currently present in the market place. Building upon the considerable implementation experience, the revision of all 5 parts is expected to use a workable subset of the ISO data types, and to provide a leaner solution. - thomas -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
