CEN/TC 251

Okay kiddo, so there's this thing called cen/tc 251. It stands for the European Standardization Committee for Health Informatics.

Imagine you have a bunch of toys that need to be organized, but they're all different sizes and colors. It can be really confusing to figure out where they should go, right?

Well, when it comes to health information, it can be just as confusing. Different countries might use different words or formats to talk about the same thing. This can be a big problem if doctors or nurses need to share important information about a patient.

So, cen/tc 251 is a group of people who work together to make sure that everyone uses the same words and formats when they talk about health information. They come up with standards that people all over Europe can follow.

Think of it like everyone agreeing to use the same toy box to put their toys in. It makes things a lot easier and less confusing!
