Standards in Biomedical Informatics

After reading this chapter, you should know the answers to these questions: Why are standards important in biomedical informatics? What data standards are necessary to be able to exchange data seamlessly among systems? What organizations are active in standards development? What aspects of biomedical information management are supported today by standards? What is the process for creating consensus standards? What factors and organizations influence the creation of standards?
