The IEEE 11073-10207-2017 standard falls within the context of the ISO/IEEE 11073™ family of standards for point-of-care medical device communication. In this standard, a Participant Model is derived from the ISO/IEEE 11073-10201 Domain Information Model. The Participant Model specifies the structure of medical information objects. Additionally, the standard defines an 4 abstract Communication Model to facilitate the exchange of medical information objects. Both the Participant Model and Communication Model elements are specified using XML Schema. The core subjects covered by the Participant Model include the modeling of medical device-related 7 data (such as measurements and settings), alert systems, contextual information (such as patient demographics and location), remote control, and archival information. XML Schema is utilized to provide extensibility to the model. The corrigendum for this standard comprises fixes related to definition terms, requirements, and a significant retrofit of the versioning concept. It ensures that the standard remains accurate and up-to-date, addressing any issues that may have arisen since its initial publication.

The corrigendum comprises fixes of definition terms, requirements, and a significant retrofit of the versioning concept.

The purpose of this standard is to enable vendors of point-of-care medical devices and medical IT systems to constitute networked medical device applications from the perspective of domain experts. Therefore, this standard provides tools to virtually model point-of-care medical devices. Moreover, it defines a service oriented architecture to access those networked-based point-of-care medical devices.
