About the ISO/TC 215 Health Informatics National Mirror Committee

Health Information Standards Organisation (HISO) operates under Standards New Zealand to convene the national mirror committee for the ISO/TC 215 Health Informatics Technical Committee of the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO).

The Standards Approval Board approved to form the national mirror committee in March 2021.

As a participating member, we have input on international data and digital standards we can adopt to improve our health system.

The ISO/TC 215 Health Informatics National Mirror Committee has responsibility to:

  • monitor all ISO/TC 215 work items, drafts and ballots
  • review the technical content of documents out for comment and plan a national position
  • inform Standards NZ of the position reached on ISO/TC 215 work proposal (NP), committee draft (CD), draft international standard (DIS) and final draft international standard (FDIS) documents
  • work with Standards NZ to enter a vote on all NP, CD, DIS and FDIS documents
  • provide a valid technical justification for any negative vote
  • inform Standards NZ of the position reached on ISO standards under systematic 5-year review
  • consult with stakeholders in forming a national position on international matters.
