What is ISO/TS 21526 - H ealthcare MetaRep about?
Metadata management simplifies the way people and programs find and use data. Healthcare has a fundamental requirement for describing the meaning, provenance and governance of data, and for setting standards for how that data is stored and communicated. It uses metadata registries and repositories (MetaRep) extensively for a wide range of purposes supporting care delivery, reporting and research. ISO/TS 21526 describes requirements for collections of metadata about data elements and their containing models and datasets in a healthcare environment. The collection can serve as a repository or as dictionary describing a set of items in use in a particular domain, organization or product for reference, or it can additionally serve as a registry, supporting the development and communication of standard items to an audience with shared goals. ISO/TS 21526 specifies standard refinements that account for the detailed governance and administration requirements that are particular to healthcare data. It focuses on the description of data that is persisted in healthcare systems rather than the specification of messages between these systems. Who is ISO/TS 21526 for – Healthcare MetaRep ?
