Health informatics — Interoperability of telehealth systems and networks – Part 2: Real-time systems

This document focuses on the technical standards related to the real-time applications (including video, audio, and data-conferencing) and interoperability aspects of telehealth systems and networks. Specifically, this document addresses 4 main areas: standards for real-time telehealth systems; interoperability issues in telehealth applications; requirements for interoperable telehealth systems and networks; and framework for interoperable architectures.

This document, along with Part 1: Introduction and definitions, addresses interoperability issues in telehealth systems and networks. The target users of these documents are care providers, healthcare organisations, telehealth equipment vendors, implementers of telehealth solutions, professional organisations and governments.
