Departments and Services

The Healthcare Data Elements Framework is designed as a common information foundation for the entire healthcare ecosystem rather than for a single specialty, department, or healthcare setting. Different healthcare departments, specialties, and services require different combinations of standardized Healthcare Data Elements according to their clinical and operational workflows. The following classification illustrates the broad scope of healthcare services that may progressively adopt and extend the framework through their respective multidisciplinary expert panels.
