15、5253:20054 Introduction Background This report considers user requirements for Quality of Service (QoS) specifically in the healthcare Information Technology (IT) environment. QoS is defined in 4 as: ”A set of qualities related to the collective behaviour of one or more objects.” Thus the definition

16、 is very broad, even when restricted to the healthcare IT environment. CR 12161 (EWOS/ETG 021): ”A Method for Defining Profiles for Health Care” 7 deals with the general categorisation of user requirements for healthcare information interchange. It assesses the suitability of profiles of standards f

17、rom the domains of Open Systems Interconnection / Open Systems Environment (OSI/OSE) to satisfy those user requirements. The method defined in CR 12161 was subsequently applied (by EWOS project team PT N024) to the specific domain of medical image interchange, and the findings were recorded in CR 12

18、069 (EWOS/ETG 045): ”Profiles for Medical Image Interchange” 8. In performing this work, a number of requirements were identified which could not adequately be mapped to the services provided by standardised OSI profiles. Some of these requirements could be considered as QoS issues. With this in min

19、d, the Healthcare Expert Group of the European Workshop for Open Systems (EWOS/EG MED) initiated a work item in May 1995 to identify QoS requirements for healthcare information interchange which need to be supported by standardised communications services. This report is the result of that activity.

20、 At the same time, international IT standards have been under development (by ISO/IEC JTC1/SC21 and ITU-T SG7) to define a QoS Framework 2 of terminology and concepts, in order to assist those wishing to specify or procure systems in which QoS is important, and to publish a Guide to QoS Methods and

21、Mechanisms 3, which is intended to be a source-book of references and widely-applicable mechanisms that can be used by systems designers and implementors. The scope of the activity is all forms of interaction between elements of distributed systems. The QoS work in ISO has been applied to the develo

22、pment of time-critical communications and to enhanced communications transport service and protocol (ECTS it includes the QoS requirements of information storage and processing IT systems. The related areas of security and financial cost considerations are not within the primary scope of the documen

23、t, although they are considered briefly. Of course, an informatics system with a high QoS does not guarantee a high standard of healthcare in terms of clinical outcomes or patient care. The quality of healthcare delivered to patients (the ultimate ”users”) depends upon a number of external factors s

24、uch as the experience and competence of the healthcare professional(s) or institution(s) involved. Potential QoS characteristics for the total healthcare delivery process such as mortality rate, clinical outcome, etc. are therefore not within the scope of this report. The report contains no provisio

25、ns to avoid the incorporation of bad or dangerous practice into healthcare IT systems. It is possible to circumvent good clinical practice with technical solutions which may cause bad practice. This vital issue is not covered by this report. To take an example scenario: A patient consults a doctor,

26、who takes a blood sample and arranges to see the patient again in two weeks. a) A “good“ practice doctor sees and reviews the blood test result as soon as it comes back from the laboratory and then files it if no action is required. b) A “bad“ practice doctor sees and reviews the blood test results

27、only when he reviews the patients case on the patients next visit. This case is not defensible if the patient has a preventable adverse event and takes legal action (source: MPS Casebook Summer 1997). The healthcare information system put into the medical practice in electronic form could build-in e

28、ither practice (a) or practice (b). This report does not consider the clinical quality assurance mechanism for the IT system. 1 Structure of this document Introduction - defines the scope and background of the work on QoS for Healthcare Information Interchange, and gives a list of references and acr

29、onyms. Clause 5 - Quality of Service Concepts - summarises QoS concepts from existing work. Clause 6 - Current Relevant Work in Healthcare Informatics Standardisation - provides a brief survey of known work related to QoS requirements and mechanisms in the international healthcare community. Clause

30、7 - Typical Healthcare QoS Scenarios- defines a number of User Scenarios demonstrating situations in which QoS is of importance. Clause 8 - Healthcare QoS Categories- draws together QoS requirements in the Healthcare sector, derived from the examples in Clause 7, and from elsewhere. It gives some gu

31、idance on what solutions may be appropriate. Clause 9 - Development of ETG 021 Method - considers how the ”Method for Defining Profiles for Health Care” defined in 7, and used in 8 and 9, might be extended to cover QoS requirements. Clause 10 - Summary and Conclusions - summarises the main points of

32、 the document and provides recommendations on how to proceed. Annex A - Application of QoS Concepts - contains examples of applications of the concepts in Clause 5, including aspects such as QoS in OSI and QoS in time-critical communications, in order to provide background information for the discus

46、lity of service concepts 5.1 Sources The material in this clause is based on the QoS activity being undertaken by a Joint Rapporteur Group of ITU-T SG7 and ISO/IEC JTC1/ SC21/WG7, which was established in order to provide common guidance to any groups developing specifications relating to QoS. The f

47、irst objective of the QoS Group was to produce a QoS Framework standard, the aim of which is to provide a consensus set of concepts and terminology that will enable all those who are developing QoS specifications to adopt common approaches, to benefit from each others work and to communicate effecti

48、vely. This standard is currently an International Standard 2. In parallel, the Group has been documenting references to QoS specifications in various standards and other documents, as well as the details of a number of mechanisms for use with QoS that are believed to be widely-applicable. These will

49、 be published in a Technical Report, the QoS Guide to Methods and Mechanisms 3. The QoS Group is also specifying how QoS concepts can be incorporated into ODP (Open Distributed Processing) and the Object Management Architecture (OMA) of the Object Management Group (OMG). 5.2 Fundamental concepts 5.2.1 General The fundamental objective of any specification, implementation choice or mechanism relating to QoS can be expressed using three concepts: the management o
