CEN/ISO/IEEE 11073 Standards Interoperability Point-of-care medical device communication (IEEE1073) Charter: • Provide real-time plug-and-play interoperability for patient-connected medical devices • Facilitate the efficient exchange of vital signs and medical device data, acquired at the point-of-care, in all health care environments … Leveraging off-the-shelf technologies, scaling across a wide range of system complexities, and supporting commercially viable implementations.
CEN/ISO/IEEE 11073 Standards Development A history of co-operative and complementary working: Arrows indicate effective transfer of development and/or maintenance responsibility.
CEN/ISO/IEEE 11073 Standards Context Health informatics: Generally interpreted as being in ISO/OSI Level 7 Medical device communication: Works at all ISO/OSI Levels, Directly in ISO/OSI Levels 7 – 5 In Levels 1 – 4, chiefly by reference to other standards (such as IrDA or 802.11)
CEN/ISO/IEEE 11073 Standards Architecture Requirements: • True interoperability across all 7-layers - from the ‘connector’ to the end application • Quality of Service mechanisms to support the strong requirements placed on regulated medical devices • Maintainability as communications technology and applications change

CEN/ISO/IEEE 11073 Standards Conclusions • 11073 is the only comprehensive system of point-of-care medical device communication standards • 11073 modality categories range from real-time-operating medical equipment to point-of-care test devices • 11073 supports wired, wireless IR (and hopefully future wireless RF) network technologies • 11073 provides plug-and-play, internetworking and application gateway capabilities • If health care providers and management organisations want point-of-care to record transparency of information, then they must demand medical device interoperability using 11073
CEN/ISO/IEEE 11073 Standards Conclusions • To meet continued user demand,11073 must deliver plug-and-play, internetworking and application gateway capabilities • Wherever possible use existing, commodity, standards as the basis for covering the range of requirements • Use deliberate co-ordination of simultaneous development, comment and ballot in all the participating bodies • In addition to the core development bodies, the activity co-ordinates regularly with other health informatics activities – notably HL7, DICOM, NCCLS and IHE • Weekly conference calls, specific email lists and co-location of meetings facilitate rapid consensus formation
