WS/T 672-2020 in English

Standard Background and Significance

As a basic specification for health informationization, this standard establishes for the first time a conceptual data model framework covering the entire life cycle of universal health. Based on the HL7 V3 RIM core architecture and integrating the characteristics of China's medical and health system, it provides a unified data modeling benchmark for electronic medical records, public health monitoring and other systems.

Core model architecture

Key innovations

Implementation suggestions

1. System development should give priority to the value range standards specified in the WS/T 671 data dictionary
2. Clinical observation classes need to simultaneously record the two time dimensions of activity time and effective time
3. Medication management needs to ensure the logical consistency of the pathway code, method code, and target site

Technology evolution analysis

This standard uses public health cases as an independent activity class for the first time, supporting the correlation analysis between the infectious disease direct reporting system and clinical diagnosis and treatment data. Subsequent versions recommend the addition of data model extensions for emerging scenarios such as Internet medical care and AI-assisted diagnosis.
