EN 1068:2005 (E) 4 Introduction The increased use

18、of data processing and telecommunications capabilities has made possible the interchange of information in machine readable and machine processable formats. As automated interchange of information in health increases it is essential to provide the appropriate information interchange standards. Repre

19、sentation of information in coded form facilitates its processing by computer and enables it to be expressed with a precision and independence from language that may be difficult to achieve in other forms. Coded representation is therefore frequently used in information interchange for all types of

20、application. There are many coding systems in use in health. In the development of this European Standard it was recognised that immediate international adoption of a single coding system for each type of health information is impracticable. Therefore, when interchanging information, it is necessary

21、 to identify unambiguously the coding systems used for its representation. This European Standard recognises existing coding systems and provides a means for using them in a uniform way in health information interchange. It allows an occurrence of health information to be represented by more than on

22、e coding system. However the registration procedure is also intended to discourage the unnecessary proliferation of coding systems used for the interchange of health information. The use of the procedures in this European Standard will: a) facilitate the representation of health information in coded

23、 form for all purposes; b) reduce the potential ambiguity of information in coded form; c) reduce the need for human intervention in information interchange between applications; d) diminish the time required for the introduction of information interchange agreements; e) provide independence from la

24、nguage; f) in consequence of the foregoing, reduce the cost of information interchange. It has been produced by the European Body because, to date, there has been no successful implementation of an International Standard addressing the same needs, while it is urgently required to facilitate informat

25、ion interchange in health within Europe. It is nevertheless recognised that the subject is a matter for world-wide co-operation. This European Standard has therefore been written in conformance with the ISO/IEC Directives and every attempt has been made to avoid introducing regional bias. In the sit

26、uation resulting from the instatement of ISO/IEC 11179-6, this European Standard should be considered as providing a mean for a sectorial for health , and regional at least for Europe implementation of the International Standard. As a consequence, the Registration Authority meant by this European St

27、andard should eventually refer to the Central Registration Authority planned in the International Standard. As per this European Standard, a comprehensive international register of health coding systems will be created and will be made available to all those who may benefit from the information it c

28、ontains. It might also occur that organisations outside Europe submit health coding systems for registration in accordance with it. The role to be played by the Registration Authority as per this European Standard, (referred to in Clause 6, and elsewhere in this European Standard), and its basic rul

29、es of procedure, are the subject for a separate supporting document (“Health Informatics Health Information Interchange Registration of Coding Systems The Registration Authority“). EN 1068:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies a procedure for the registration of coding systems used in

30、health for any purpose. It also specifies the allocation of a unique Health Coding System Designator to each registered coding system. A code value can thus be given an unambiguous meaning by association with a HCD. The method by which a HCD and a code value are associated is not defined by this Eur

31、opean Standard. The association is achieved in any manner appropriate to the syntax used. This European Standard does not specify the coding systems to be used in health, give guidance on their selection nor describe methods of representing information in coded form. Coding systems maintained by dif

32、ferent Responsible Organisations may also be used in combinations. Such combinations can be considered as templates, and as such they lie outside the scope of the current document. 2 Normative References The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
