<p>Added About Page</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Purpose ==<br /> Healthcare organisations operate increasingly complex digital ecosystems.<br /> <br /> Many standards describe isolated aspects of these ecosystems:<br /> <br /> * SNOMED CT describes clinical concepts.<br /> * LOINC describes observations.<br /> * HL7 FHIR describes information exchange.<br /> * openEHR describes clinical data models.<br /> * IHE describes interoperability workflows.<br /> <br /> However, there is no common reference describing how these standards come together to enable a clinical capability within an operational healthcare environment.<br /> <br /> The CARE-IT Reference Library addresses this gap.<br /> <br /> It provides a structured knowledge graph connecting:<br /> <br /> * clinical capabilities<br /> * digital system constellations<br /> * governance<br /> * interoperability<br /> * operational readiness<br /> * lifecycle management<br /> * regulatory requirements<br /> <br /> == Principles ==<br /> The library follows five principles.<br /> <br /> === Reference first ===<br /> Existing international standards are reused whenever possible.<br /> <br /> No local terminology is invented where an accepted international concept already exists.<br /> <br /> === Capability centred ===<br /> Clinical capabilities are the primary organising concept.<br /> <br /> Technology exists to enable clinical capability.<br /> <br /> === Vendor neutral ===<br /> The library describes concepts, not products.<br /> <br /> === Governance aware ===<br /> Responsibilities, ownership and lifecycle are considered first-class knowledge objects.<br /> <br /> === Evidence based ===<br /> Whenever possible, entries reference recognised standards or regulatory documents.<br /> <br /> == Intended audience ==<br /> The library is intended for<br /> <br /> * Healthcare providers<br /> * Clinical Informatics<br /> * Enterprise Architects<br /> * Medical Device Integration Specialists<br /> * Digital Health Researchers<br /> * Health IT Vendors<br /> * Regulators<br /> * Students</div>
