Component 9: Unit 4: Basic Health Data Standards
Description:
This unit provides and orientation to the important data-related standards that enable interoperable health data interchange
Objectives:
- Understand why it is necessary to use a common set of data elements with common names to be able to exchange and understand data from other places
- Understand what is meant by semantic interoperability
- Understand many of the sets of controlled vocabularies in use today – how they are used and who requires their use
- Understand the use, purpose and interrelation among sets of controlled vocabularies in use today
- Identify the more common controlled vocabularies in use today: ICD, CPT, DRG, NDC, RxNorm, and LOINC
- Identify the more common controlled vocabularies in use today: SNOMED, MEDCIN, MedDRA, Nursing terminologies, MeSH and UMLS
- Understand data elements; attributes of data elements
- Understand contribution of master meta-dictionary of data elements to semantic interoperability
- Explain how data structures can be built from basic data components
- Explain how templates and archetypes facilitate networking and information interchange
- Discuss Clinical Data Architecture (CDA), Continuity of Care Document (CCD), and Continuity of Care Record (CCR) Standards
