Health informatics - Expression of results of measurements in health sciences

This document establishes a comprehensive framework for the representation of measurement results within the field of health informatics, specifically addressing practices in health sciences. It defines standardized protocols for structuring and reporting numerical data derived from laboratory, clinical, and diagnostic procedures to ensure consistency across different healthcare systems. The text outlines specific requirements for nomenclature, units of measure, and the formatting of reference intervals, aiming to minimize ambiguity in medical reporting. By providing clear guidelines on how data should be presented, it facilitates seamless data exchange between laboratories, hospitals, and information systems. The approach emphasizes the importance of clarity and precision in conveying scientific findings to support accurate diagnosis and patient care. This specification serves as a foundational reference for professionals involved in health data management, ensuring that measurement outcomes are communicated effectively and uniformly across national and international boundaries without ambiguity in interpretation or application.
