The ISO community currently has two areas of focus:

ISO/TC215 Health Informatics

ISO/TC215 enables standardization in the field of health informatics to facilitate the capture, interchange and use of health related data, information and knowledge to support and enable all aspects of the health system.

The ISO/TC215 community is structured through working groups that deliver standards in the following priority health infostructures and domains:

  • Architecture, Frameworks and Models (WG1)
  • Systems and Device Interoperability (WG2)
  • Semantic Content (WG3)
  • Security, Safety and Privacy (WG4)
  • Pharmacy and Medicines Business (WG6)
  • Safe, effective and secure health software and health IT systems, including those incorporating medical devices (JWG7)

Canada is proud to have a thriving ISO TC215 Canadian Constituency and actively participates in ISO TC215 ballots and standards development, through this community and the Canadian Mirror Committee of ISO TC215

ISO/TC215 Subcommittee 1: SC1 Genomics Informatics

The Genomics Informatics Subcommittee enables TC 215 to offer a more focused program of international standardization for omics data, information and associated knowledge to support improvements in clinical care, population health, precision medicine and clinical research. This Standards Council of Canada SC1 Mirror Committee provides the coordination, communications, work item commenting, balloting and voting for Genomics Informatics standards.

Scope

Standardization of computable data, information, and knowledge, including their representation and metadata, for the application of omics, including but not limited to genomics, phenomics and proteomics, to support human health and clinical research.

What are ISO subcommittees?

ISO/TC215 launched its first Subcommittee in the fall of 2019: SC1 Genomics Informatics. Subcommittees in ISO are a key structure for delivering standards and are formed within and aligned to the parent committee, which for SC1 is the ISO/Technical Committee 215 - Health Informatics. Subcommittees identify, develop, ballot and publish standards for a domain of interest that is within the domain of the parent committee.

Hello Canadian ISO Standards Community. As you may know the position for Chair of IHE Canada is open for voting right now. I am posting an endorsement for Mike here as well as in the IHE Forum. I have known and periodically worked with Mike for over 2 decades now, and as Chair, his governance experience is will be very important to the vitality and relevance of IHE Canada. He was a part of the team that determined the requirements and approach to governance of the original pan-Canadian Health Informatic Standards Collaborative. He has been a longtime member of IHE, both domestically and internationally, and is enthusiastic about strengthening the IHE Community in practical and meaningful ways here in Canada. Importantly, Mike has also demonstrated leadership in bringing SDO’s together to collaborate internationally, as a member (and past Chair) of the Joint Initiative Council (jointinitiativecouncil.org). He has a vision for bringing this culture of collaboration to Canada as well. Of course, as Chair of HL7 Canada, I am looking forward to working with whomever the successful nominee is, as there are exciting and important changes in standards participation and governance imminent this year and next. I am really pleased there seems to be strong energy and interest in reinvigorating IHE Canada. This is an excellent opportunity for collaboration between IHE, HL7 and the other Canadian SDO affiliates in strengthening the use of health interoperability and informatics standards in Canada. I encourage as many people to vote as possible. Ron G. Parker, HL7 Canada Affiliate Chair
