New ISO Catalog and Standards Set Resources Available Now

Greetings ISO Community !
Two new valuable resources have become available early in this 2018 year. Both were just highlighted in the Infoway DIspatch and online now at InfoCentral - infocentral.infoway-inforoute.ca/en/.

The ISO user-friendly Health Informatics Standards Catalog is now available by digital health and interoperability based categories, providing a searchable and organized resource when searching for standards to support a particular data sharing or digital health system solution. This catalog, provided through the leadership of both ISO/TC215 and your TC215 Canadian delegation is freely available, online under the ISO Community page on InfoCentral.

A second and major new resource is the Patient Summary Standards Set. This inaugural standards set published by the Joint Initiative Council (the collaborative of 8 international Standards Development Organizations (SDO's), provides a use case based coherent collection of standards and standards artefacts to support data sharing and ultimately better patient health outcomes.

Strongly lead by Canadians at the Task Group lead level and as members of those task groups and developed through clinical, standards and subject matter experts from across the globe, this new resource - a Standards Set, is geared towards healthcare organizations, vendors, jurisdiction digital health agencies, provincial and national governments who are exploring ways of development and implementing Patient Summaries.

A living guidance document, the Patient Summary Standards Set is available free of charge and can be accessed on the JIC Website - www.jointinitiativecouncil.org/registry/standards.set.patient.summary.asp.

Cross postings to other Standards Communities welcomed!
