The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) is seeking feedback from relevant stakeholders on the International Organization for Standardization’s (ISO) new work item proposal for the development of new standards on Ageing Societies. All responses submitted to SCC will serve to generate a Canadian position on the proposal.
This proposed new TC would develop standardization in the field of ageing societies. The program of work will promote lifelong support and quality of life in ageing populations, enable people to remain independent throughout their life with a sense of value and contribution to their communities and take a holistic approach in addressing services and products that will help manage the advancement of ageing societies. It will take note of where innovation and technology require standards to support this demographic
The first item in the proposed work program (by BSI) would be a common set of agreed upon terminologies for standards developers that would result in an International Standard on Vocabulary.
YOUR COMMENTS, VIEWS and indications of SUPPORT would be appreciated, particularly on the benefits and challenges of undertaking standardization in the field of aging societies.
Improving the quality of patient care through the effective sharing of clinical information among health care organizations, clinicians and their patients.
