Telehealth Interoperability ISO/TR Health informatics - Interoperability of telehealth systems and networks – Part 1: Introduction and definitions ISO/TR Health informatics – Interoperability of telehealth systems and networks – Part 2: Real- time systems ISO/TS Health informatics – Interoperability of telelearning systems

Telehealth Interoperability Phase 1: Introduction Key definitions, scope Work plan phases outlined Phase 2: Real-time, video conferencing Telelearning Application Phase 3: Teleradiology Interoperability Project: Technical Specification Use DICOM, HL7, IHE

Telehealth Interoperability Project components: Teleradiology Requirements – composed of the Business, Processing and Information Requirements, which represent a high-level overview of the Teleradiology System described from the end-user point of view. Teleradiology Model – describes the Teleradiology System that meets the requirements stated in the Teleradiology Requirements document and represents a technology view of the system. It covers the Business Process Model, the Data Model, and Teleradiology Vocabulary. Teleradiology Data Specification – describes the core data sets the Teleradiology system is capable of handling, the Data Dictionary and outlines the proposed draft standard. Teleradiology Messaging Specification – describes the interactions between the Teleradiology System and other systems, provides detailed definitions of the messages to facilitate the interactions, and outlines the proposed draft standard. Teleradiology Testing Framework – describes an approach and testing strategy for teleradiology systems and networks and outlines conformance and interoperability tests.
