What is ISO 22077-1 - Medical encoding rules about?
ISO 22077-1 is an International Standard that focuses on health informatics. It gives a medical waveform format with encoding rules.
ISO 22077-1 specifies how medical waveforms, such as electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, spirometry waveform, etc., are described for interoperability among healthcare information systems.
ISO 22077-1 is used with other relevant protocols, such as HL7, DICOM®, the ISO/IEEE 11073 series, and database management systems for each purpose.
Who is ISO 22077-1 - Medical encoding rules for?
ISO 22077-1 on health informatics is useful for:
- Hospitals and health care centres
- Cardiography device manufacturing industries
- Suppliers and distributors of medical devices
- EEG and PSG examiner
Why should you use ISO 22077-1 - Medical encoding rules?
Medical waveform data such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) or an electroencephalogram (EEG) are widely utilized in physiological examinations, physiological research, electronic medical records, healthcare information and other areas in the clinical field.
For medical waveforms, ISO 22077-1 is essential to standardize the data format to expedite the mutual application of the standard so that the data can be processed electronically and used in a variety of ways.
ISO 22077-1 is very helpful for medical waveform data for many medical and research purposes if digital signal processing technology is applied to standardize the data in a digital format.
