Health informatics - International patient summary

This standard defines the core dataset for a patient summary document that supports continuity of care for a person and coordination of their health care. It is aimed at supporting the use case scenario for 'unplanned, cross-border care' and is intended to be an international patient summary (IPS). The dataset is minimal and non-exhaustive, but provides a robust, well-defined core set of data items, and can be used in planned care.
