Clinical Terminology
In the era of transitioning healthcare toward an interoperable digital future, the role of terminologies and vocabularies has taken on significant importance. Healthcare is unique in that, the use and need for standard clinical terminology exist throughout the continuum of care and is expanding alongside the growth of electronic communication technologies such as electronic health records (EHRs), mobile health apps, wearable devices, telehealth platforms, and artificial intelligence–driven tools.
Terms and concepts:
In order to "talk" the same language – code, report and share healthcare information – systems must speak the same language. This means terms (words) from one system must be mapped to terms from another system where they share similar meanings and outcomes. This ensures a seamless flow of data throughout the delivery system. A fully integrated system provides an optimum state for the provider to practice medicine safely and the patient to receive the best care.
