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:

1. 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
2. Understand what is meant by semantic interoperability
3. Understand many of the sets of controlled vocabularies in use today – how they are used and who requires their use
4. Understand the use, purpose and interrelation among sets of controlled vocabularies in use today
5. Identify the more common controlled vocabularies in use today: ICD, CPT, DRG, NDC, RxNorm, and LOINC
6. Identify the more common controlled vocabularies in use today: SNOMED, MEDCIN, MedDRA, Nursing terminologies, MeSH and UMLS
7. Understand data elements; attributes of data elements
8. Understand contribution of master meta-dictionary of data elements to semantic interoperability
9. Explain how data structures can be built from basic data components
10. Explain how templates and archetypes facilitate networking and information interchange
11. Discuss Clinical Data Architecture (CDA), Continuity of Care Document (CCD), and Continuity of Care Record (CCR) Standards
