    <span id="purpose"><b>Description <a href="https://hl7.org/fhir/versions.html#std-process" title="Informative Content" class="informative-flag">I</a>:</b> <div><p>Healthcare is shifting from supply-oriented care to more demand / patient-oriented integrated care. The focus is the patient and the integrated care he needs executed by one or more healthcare provider(s) in one or more organizations. Information on the patient must be shared by these healthcare providers and organizations. The EHR system must be focused on a problem-oriented recording in an integrated EHR system. This recording should take place in the care process and seamlessly fit in the workflow of the healthcare professional. When the information is properly recorded in the EHR, these information can be reused: by other healthcare providers, for deriving quality information, financial information and for research. For this purposes the use of widely accepted international standards is necessary.</p>
<p>Clinical Models are used to capture functional, semantic (non technical) agreements for the standardization of information used in the care process. The purpose of the standardization is that this information from the care process is reused for other purposes such as quality registration, transfer or patient-related research. A Clinical Model is an information model in which a care-based concept is described in terms of the data elements from which that concept exists, the data types of those data elements, the binding to a (standard) terminology, etc.
Clinical models are information models of minimal clinical concepts, each containing multiple data with agreed content, structure and mutual relationship.</p>
<p>The binding to a terminology  provides semantic and computable identity to its concepts. Examples of terminologies that an EHR-S may support include: LOINC, SNOMED, ICD-9, ICD-10, and CPT-4. See also Function TI.4 Standard Terminology and Terminology Services.</p>
<p>The key is that the standard be approved by all stakeholders. For example, a standard Clinical Model for 'Problem'. The information that is recorded in the EHR according to the Clinical Model can be reused for other purposes as  quality registration, transfer or patient-related research.</p>
