Ehdotuksen tiedot

This document defines the core data set for a patient summary, which supports continuity of care for a person and assists with coordination of any healthcare experienced. The International Patient Summary (IPS) model supports the use case scenario for cross organization care. The IPS is used in planned and unplanned care scenarios, and in local and international contexts. This document provides an abstract definition of a patient summary from which derived models are implementable. Compliance with this document does not imply automatic technical interoperability. However, interoperability is enabled by this document through conformant IPS Artefacts such as implementation guides and profiles from within the IPS Suite. This document does not cover the workflow processes of data entry, data collection, data summarization, subsequent data presentation, assimilation, or aggregation. Furthermore, this document does not cover the summarization act itself, i.e., the intelligence/skill/competence that results in the data summarization workflow. It is not an implementation guide that is concerned with the various technical layers beneath the application layer.
