ABSTRACT
Integrating extramural measured devices data into medical information systems is becoming more and more attractive for integrated medical care. A lot of devices already have the ability to transfer measured data to mobile devices or computers and a few systems offer submitting data to a centralized information database or information system. Unfortunately, all of these devices use proprietary protocols and processes which makes integration into other systems a major problem. To address this problem the Healthy Interoperability project has been created with the objective of creating a framework for transferring health data based on international standards. The paper outlines how the framework architecture takes full advantage from the definitions of the international standards ISO 11073, HL7, IHE and CEN 13606. Even the definition of the user profiles and the security framework is based on standards from ETSI, ISO and CEN. By using these standards the framework can also perfectly be used for intramural communication.
