IEEE Draft Standard Health informatics - Point-of-care medical device communication - Nomenclature Amendment 1: Additional definitions

Within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073 family of standards for point-of-care (POC) medical device communication (MDC), this amendment extends the nomenclature defined by the base ISO/IEEE Std 11073-10101:2004 nomenclature standard. It includes significant extensions to support haemodynamics, respiration, ventilation and anesthesia monitoring, blood gas, urine, fluid-related metrics, and neurology, as well as units of measurements and measurement sites. It also captures and provides formal definitions for observation identifiers used by the IEEE 11073 Personal Health Device standards and additional attributes for reporting their regulatory and certification status. It also defines information attributes to support alert communication and accurate medical device time synchronization and timekeeping.
