MED_INF 405 HIT Technology Integration, Interoperability, & Standards Session #3 Assignment: Code the Case Komal Kamra ICD-9-CM and ICD-10-CM are the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, 9th and 10th additions are browsers utilized by the World Health Organization to classify diseases for clinical and epidemiological purposes. The next browser, NCI Metathesaurus is a medical terminology database used by National Cancer Institute for clinical care, research and epidemiology. UMLS Metathesaurus is another biomedical terminology browser with a unified modified language system developed by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Another browser, Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine – Clinical Terms (SNOMED-CT) is a clinical terminology database of the International Health Terminology Standards Development Organization. The final browser, Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) is a browser maintained by the Regenstrief Institute and contains terminologies for laboratory results. There were quite a few challenges associated with these browsers in finding appropriate codes. First, the standards for the same disease varied among browsers since each browser emphasized different aspects of clinical care. Second, different browsers provided varied level of detail for each disease. For example, in searching for Serum glucose, LOINC provide nearly 30 pages of description, which would be very difficult to decipher for a non-clinician. Third, the digital format of the codes was quite different and presented its own challenges in downloading relevant data. For example, a browser RxNorm is not included in the table of browsers below since the pertinent codes could not even be downloaded from this browser. Fourth, certain browsers were not comprehensive as they do not provide all relevant codes for a specific disease, lab value or medication. This forces user to navigate multiple browsers to collect the pertinent information. Fifth, there were challenges associated with forms in which medicines were described thus making it difficult to precisely identify appropriate codes. For example, Metformin Oral Tablet with different concentrations was listed under different codes. Sixth, the demographic variations related to sex, age or race (e.g. Caucasian man) were not covered under specific codes within most of the browsers thus creating data gaps.
