This stream of research eventually developed into a dedicated discipline, Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIM), with wide appeal and broad consensus for optimism. In 1970, Schwartz announced in the New England Journal of Medicine that clinical computing would likely be commonplace in the “not too distant future.” The use of computerized clinical information systems to support hospital operation as well as clinical activities started to flourish in the early 1990s. Besides the significant technological breakthroughs, including the availability of enterprise-level database management systems (DBMS) and health data standards such as ICD and HL7, new legislation and advocacy by federal funding agencies also played a key role. International Statistical Classification of Diseases: Standard diagnostic classification developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for its member states to report mortality and morbidity statistics. In the United States, ICD-9-CM (ICD 9th Revision, Clinical Modification) is widely used to codify diagnostic data for administrative (such as billing) purposes. http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/datawh/ftpserv/ftpICD9/ftpICD9.htm. Health Level Seven (HL7) is an all-volunteer, not-for-profit organization. It oversees the development of international health data exchange standards. http://www.hl7.org. Financial investments to implement large-scale health IT systems were made by the Agency for
Health Information Technology is a trend in health care that has gained widespread attention due to the benefits it offers in the intricate, ever-changing and demanding field of health care. The advancement and widespread usage of Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems is predominantly dependent on standardized clinical terminology in the respective systems to ensure leveled communication among all professionals. Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine – Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) is one of many clinical terminologies currently in use for the purpose of documenting by healthcare professionals and specialists in Electronic Medical Records. The mapping of SNOMED CT has been validated for accuracy against multiple coding and diagnostic classification systems. A brief history of SNOMED CT and results of several of the mapping studies will be discussed in this paper.
Mapping is important because it allows for hospitals to have their information from ICD-9 to ICD-10 as well as from ICD-10 to ICD-9. Converting to ICD-10-CM has helped obtain better data for quality, safety, and efficiency in the United States healthcare system. ICD-10 allows for more expansion in order to accommodate the new technologies that have been and are currently being introduced to hospitals across the country. ICD-10-CM helps tell a better story of each patient encounter by giving hospitals more in depth information about their disease/
ICD-9-CM is the United States' alteration of the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, created by the World Health Organization. It is the most generally connected arrangement framework for coding analyze, explanations behind social insurance experiences, wellbeing status, and outside reasons for damage. The controls with respect to electronic exchanges and code set declared under HIPAA assign ICD-9-CM as the medicinal code set standard for sicknesses, wounds, or different experiences for social insurance administrations. In declaration before Congress in May 2002, Sue Prophet, AHIMA's executive of coding arrangement and consistency, affirmed that "AHIMA trusts that appropriation of a substitution for the ICD-9-CM analysis
Medical codes are used for various recording and reporting purposes within the medical industry. These codes can determine the diagnoses and treatments used in patient care, as well as the mortality and morbidity data that provide statistics. As time and technology progresses a strain has been amplified on coding systems used today that warrants a major update. The United States (US) has yet to implement the most current standardized set of medical codes that have been adopted by the rest of the developed world. This delay in part caused by Congress and the American Medical Association (AMA) is causing the American population to suffer in various ways. As implementation dates are being pushed back time and time again the field is increasing debt by lost opportunities and still not able to communicate medical data across US borders. The International Classification of Diseases , tenth revision (ICD10) can, with the help of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), reduce costs for medical treatment for patients and facilities as well as improve upon facility efficiencies and quality of care. Healthcare providers in the United States (US) should be mandated to implement current sets of International Classification of Diseases (ICD) without further delay to reclaim the forefront of medical care against the top-rated systems of other countries around the world.
Isomorphism occurs when firms conform to taken-for granted ways of doing thing (Washington and Patterson, 2011). Isomorphism refers to the degree to which organisations conform to certain norms and practices established and legitimated by an environment which over time results in homogeneity of rules and practices across different organisations within a similar environment. This process of homogenisation is known as isomorphism (DiMaggio and Powell, 1983). As
Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) is the universal standardized language in the medical industry. Every participant, especially doctors, epidemiologists, coders, payers-insurance companies, government supporting programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, and other professional accredited reporting and recording agencies, financial agencies, and analytical agencies use this coding language to understand exactly what kinds of procedures does certain patient got and what kind of treatment that person received as well as for accurate reimbursement purpose. Another word, this is the universal classification of diseases and diagnosis. Each chapter of CPT starts with specific 5-digit code set being described for a specialty. There are three different
Disease classification information structures are very important for the health care community. The ICD is used to monitor health care disease and categorize the disease in a format that is universal to all health care organizations. The ICD has provided a system to assist in the reimbursement process for health care organizations. The ICD is also important to monitor diseases and prevent the spread of infection. The ICD information structure has provided a standard that
Gather appropriate sources. As of October 1st, 2015, the U.S. standard for medical coding is ICD-10. The U.S. versions are based on the 10th version of the International Statistical Classification
Providers need access to information to aid in their decision making; these tools are called clinical decision support tools (Sittig et al., 2010). Two keys that are necessary in CDS tools are an external location for the data either a dedicated application interface or a web-based interface and enterprise-wide standards for terminology and concepts (Sittig et al., 2010). External locations for CDS tools are necessary because embedded code in existing programs is expensive and time-consuming to keep current, especially with the speed that knowledge is being shared and updated in healthcare. Enterprise-wide standards for terminology and concepts is absolutely vital for CDS tools and algorithms to function. Some of the standards that should be considered are SNOMED, LOINC, and ICD-10 (Sittig et al., 2010). The use of these standards improves the use of CDS tools as well as data sharing within health information exchanges (HIEs) due to the standardization of terms and

ICD-10 is “The International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) is a system used by physicians and other healthcare providers to classify and code all diagnoses, symptoms and procedures recorded in conjunction with hospital care in the United States (Rouse, n.d.). ICD-10 replaced the hard to understand ICD-9. ICD-10 is now used to help prevent, fraudulent charges, wrongful coding, and it
ICD-10 stands for International Classification of Diseases, Revision 10. ICD-10 is a revision of the ICD-9 system which physicians and other providers currently use to code all diagnoses, symptoms, and procedures recorded in hospitals and physician practices. There are two main types of ICD-10 coding books, the International Classification of Diseases, Revision 10, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) and the International Classification of Diseases, Revision 10, Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS). ICD-10-CM is a system used by physicians and healthcare professionals to code diagnoses and procedures that occur in American hospitals. ICD-10-PCS is a system of medical classification used for procedural coding. The implementation of
Our approach is to keep the ontologies separate. We assume they use the same description logic, even though not essentially the same vocabulary (i.e. they can use different names for the same concept and/or the same names for different concepts). The aim is to
The basic components defined for the anchor schema are: anchors, knots, attributes and ties. In order to preserve information on changes, knots and ties come also in “historized” versions. Furthermore, a specified naming convention and a set of five guidelines, based on a
