What is this BS EN 17269 - Health informatics about?
BS EN 17269 defines the core data set for a patient summary document that supports continuity of care for a person and coordination of healthcare.
BS EN 17269 is aimed at supporting the use case scenario for ‘unplanned, cross border care’ and is intended to be an international patient summary (IPS). The data set is minimal and non-exhaustive, providing a robust, well-defined core set of data items. BS EN 17269 focuses on the use case that enables the IPS to also be used in planned care, and for both unplanned and planned care to be supported by this data set within local and national contexts, thereby increasing its utility and value.
BS EN 17269 uses the European Guideline from the eHN as the initial source for the patient summary requirements but takes into consideration other international efforts to provide an interoperable data set specification for global application. BS EN 17269 provides an abstract definition of a Patient Summary from which derived models are implementable.
