Contsys/International Organization for Standardization
Contsys is described on its website as "A system of concepts for the continuity of care; a visualisation of a model conforming to International Standard EN ISO 13940:2016."
Several of the terms and definitions in the above International Standard have been used in the development of the Minimum Operational Dataset (MODS) under NHS England's Digitising Social Care Programme.
EN ISO 13940:2016 states (para 0.4): "Healthcare as well as social care has the objective to influence, restore and maintain health in the WHO sense. All kinds of activities that have the potential to influence any one of the five components of health mentioned in the ICF model can be a part of such care. There is an evident overlap between healthcare activities and social care activities. This International Standard is focused upon the part of healthcare that (in most cultures) does not include social care. The role of the subject of care is defined with respect to healthcare and the terms chosen are from this sector. However, many of the concepts are relevant for the social care sector and through the cooperation of the different domains of healthcare this International Standard should also be applicable for social care."
