The standard was later adopted as ISO 13606 and later replaced with ISO 13606-2 and recently ISO 13606-5:2010.<ref>{{cite web|title=ISO 13606|url=https://www.iso.org/standard/50122.html|publisher=International Organization for Standardization|access-date=9 October 2017}}</ref>

This standard was intended to support the interoperability of systems and components that need to communicate (access, transfer, add or modify) EHR data via electronic messages or as distributed objects: * preserving the original clinical meaning intended by the author; * reflecting the confidentiality of that data as intended by the author and patient.
