Standard interchange for computerized electrocardiography.
In the SCP-ECG project (AIM #1015) of the pilot AIM Programme a standard communications protocol was developed for computerized electrocardiography, consisting of standards for the interchange, encoding and storage of digital ECG data. Part of this work is continued under the main AIM Programme (January 1992- December 1994) as AIM Project #2026, entitled "Open European Data Interchange and Processing for Computerized Electrocardiography (OEDIPE)" and was taken up by the CEN/TC 251 Committee as a priority item, for implementation into an official European Standard in Health Care Informatics. The objectives and implementation of this Standard are described in the present paper.
