Driving the Value of Codesets with Semantics – State Health IT Industry Insight

Healthcare information relies on numerous codesets for classification and designation.  Provider codesets are dynamic and managing different versions of these codesets and their associated crosswalks between them is critical.  Errors in translation result in delayed services and payment.  Semantic technologies can enable the effective management of these codesets as well as extend their value to other important services.  In combination with medical taxonomies and other purpose-specific vocabularies, they can improve access to important healthcare documentation and enable improved navigation to search tools designed for specialists and patients alike.

In this webinar, you will learn about how semantic technologies can leverage codesets and taxonomies from organizations like the NUCC to simplify integration, improve data governance and facilitate access to healthcare information.
