scope:

The scope of this Recommendation¹ is to provide a test suite structure (TSS) and the test purposes (TP) for the healthcare information system (HIS) interface based on the requirements defined in [ITU-T H.813], which is part of the ITU-T H.810-series and is a transposition of the Continua Design Guidelines (CDG) [ITU-T H.810 (2016)]. The objective of this test specification is to provide a high probability of interoperability between different devices through the HIS interface to transfer patient information from a Health & Fitness Service (HIS sender) to a healthcare information system (HIS receiver).

This Recommendation focuses only on the TSS and TP for the HIS sender because, at this moment, certification of the HIS receiver is out of the scope of the developed test tool.

¹ This Recommendation includes an electronic attachment with the protocol implementation conformance statements (PICS) and the protocol implementation extra information for testing (PIXIT) required for the implementation of Annex A.
