Example of SNOMED CT Hierarchy Relationship
SNOMED CT is an example of a reference terminology, a concept-based kind of terminology. Below is an example of the aortic valve hierarchical relationship in SNOMED CT. Many clinicians are forced to use administrative coding sets (CPT, HCPCS, and ICD-9-CM codes) to capture cl... | 2 | 1,706 |
Examples of this are time durations or vascular branch orders directly stated in various terms. Administrative codes and terms typically use language that is not natural or familiar for clinicians. For example, in ICD-10-PCS the root operation term "extirpation" is not routinely stated by surgeons. Administrative codes... | 2 | 1,707 |
Forcing a physician to document in administrative terms is uncomfortable and disruptive. Interface terminology "bridges the gap between information that is in the physician's mind and information that can be interpreted by computer applications. "3 Interface terminology helps clinicians find the right diagnosis and pro... | 2 | 1,708 |
The physician selects the appropriate term to capture the clinical intent. The term(s) populate predetermined fields in the electronic record. The selected term contains mappings to one or more industry standard terminologies, such as ICD or SNOMED CT. The "behind-the-scenes" mappings allow the physician to focus on pa... | 2 | 1,709 |
With interface terminology in place within an EHR, physicians find a number of beneficial impacts to their clinical workflow:
- Improved diagnostic search results for physicians to locate problems
- More clinically meaningful physician documentation
- Better and more complete problem lists are created
- Improved coding... | 2 | 1,710 |
In practice, clinicians use many different synonyms, acronyms, eponyms, abbreviations, and other terms to describe the same diseases and problems. These alternate forms are often more familiar and frequently used in the clinical domain rather than the standard ICD-9-CM or ICD-10-CM terms. Interface terminology provides... | 2 | 1,711 |
These alternate forms are often more familiar and frequently used in the clinical domain rather than the standard ICD-9-CM or ICD-10-CM terms. Interface terminology provides an interface to the standard ICD-9-CM-driven terminology in the EHR search. If the diagnosis was in standard ICD language, the clinician might hav... | 2 | 1,712 |
The physician selects an interface terminology diagnosis. The selected diagnosis populates the patient's problem list. The associated ICD-9-CM mappings populate the organization's billing system for review and claims generation to increase efficiency and accuracy in the revenue cycle. Clinical Interface to the Standard... | 2 | 1,713 |
Clinician-friendly terms with associated industry standard terminologies facilitate this goal. Interface terminology also supports the "capture once, use many times" philosophy of electronic health information. For example, if the term "CHF (congestive heart failure)" is captured with an associated ICD-9-CM code (428.0... | 3 | 1,714 |
Interface terminology also supports the "capture once, use many times" philosophy of electronic health information. For example, if the term "CHF (congestive heart failure)" is captured with an associated ICD-9-CM code (428.0) or ICD-10-CM code (I50.9) and SNOMED CT code (42343007), the ICD code is routed to the financ... | 3 | 1,715 |
For example, if the term "CHF (congestive heart failure)" is captured with an associated ICD-9-CM code (428.0) or ICD-10-CM code (I50.9) and SNOMED CT code (42343007), the ICD code is routed to the financial system for review and claims generation, while the SNOMED CT code is available for other reporting. ICD-10-CM/PC... | 3 | 1,716 |
As industry standard terminologies are updated, organizations engage in a maintenance process. Interface terminology eases the maintenance process for organizations. What happens if a diagnosis appears in a medical record, but the ICD code for that diagnosis is replaced? Interface terminology has the ability to have th... | 2 | 1,717 |
Interface terminology eases the maintenance process for organizations. What happens if a diagnosis appears in a medical record, but the ICD code for that diagnosis is replaced? Interface terminology has the ability to have the diagnostic term remain active while the associated ICD code is updated to reflect the new cod... | 2 | 1,718 |
No longer can physicians select diagnoses linked to out-of-date, incorrect, or non-billable codes. This helps reduce the amount of running back-and-forth between billing and clinicians to determine clinical intent and adjudicate coding discrepancies. The historical tags between the term and the prior ICD code stay inta... | 2 | 1,719 |
