Description: This standard extends the Device Enterprise Communication profile of the IHE PCD domain to further specify the communication of alarm data describing states and events significant to patient care from patient care devices to alarm manager systems. These alarms may be physiological or technical. The purpose of this standard is to provide a uniform way of representing common alarm conditions in Health Level 7 (HL7) messages to facilitate interoperability of systems from different vendors.
