IHE Patient Care Device Technical Framework

10IHE Patient Care Device Technical Framework, Vol. 2: Transactions________________________________________________________________________10101 nomenclature/terminology and the ISO/IEEE 11073-10201 domain informationmodel, with additional semantics systems specified as appropriate (e.g., LOINC orSNOMED-CT), either as mappings to ISO/IEEE concepts or independently for nonmappableconcepts. Other sections of the PCD Technical Framework define the mappingof these semantics to the information technologies defined for each transaction (forexample, section on ISO/IEEE 11073 Mapping to HL7).Note that this content specification is not intended to be exhaustive – the referencedstandards should be consulted for more complete information.In general, if a concept is not specified in this content profile nor in the base standards,the standards develop pent organizations (“SDOs”) responsible for the appropriatecontrolled content should be contacted regarding addition of the additional concepts.Typically, this may be accomplished without significant delays, and if necessary,temporary term codes provided. See discussions below for additional information.D.1 General device content considerationsThis section addresses those issues that are transitive across all device types. Subsequentsections integrate these considerations as applicable to specific device specializations.20D.1.1Hierarchical containment tree informationEach data item associated with a device specialization is specified within the context ofits “containment tree” – all parameters are formalized either as attributes of a givenobject, or as instances of data objects that are contained within other objects inaccordance to the following basic hierarchy 1 :1 See ISO/IEEE 11073-10201 Domain Information Model for complete details on these and other objects.Rev. 1.1 TI: 2006-08-1564Copyright © 2005-2006: ACC, ACCE, HIMSS, and RSNA
