Integration of…
…data with each other
…systems that exchange data
…data with decision support systems
…data with health information resources

The Re-Use of Clinical Data
Have to query a longitudinal database
Want to collect data from multiple sources
Need automated alerts
Should link to on-line information resources

The Strange Case of MRSA
Database with 15 years of laboratory results
Medical knowledge changes over time
Information systems change over time
Institutions merge their data
![Page 8: The Role of Standard Terminologies in Facilitating Integration](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568148ca550346895db5e596/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Multiple Representations of MRSA1) Culture:
Specimen: BloodOrganism: S. aureus
Sensitivity test: MethicillinResult: Resistant
2) Blood Culture:Organism: S. aureus
Sensitivity test: MethicillinResult: Resistant
3) Blood Culture:Result: “MRSA”
4) Blood Culture:Organism: Methicillin-Resistant-Staph-Aureus
5) MRSA Culture: Positive

Coding with Standards: Gender
Data element - gender Controlled terminology: Male, Female,
Unknown Representation: M,F,U; 0,1,2 What about other values?
– Genotypic– Phenotypic– Administrative

What Standards are Out There?
ICD9-CM– Strict hierarchy– Coarse granularity– “Not Elsewhere Classified”
CPT– Procedures for billing– No hierarchy
NDC– Products-oriented– No classification– Codes reused– Revisions in progress
UMLS
![Page 17: The Role of Standard Terminologies in Facilitating Integration](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568148ca550346895db5e596/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What Standards are Out There?
UMLS– Subsumes many standards– Provides extensive synonymy– No hierarchy– Near-synonymy
RxNorm– Cooperation of NLM, FDA and VA– Defines clinical drugs– Mapping to pharmacy knowledge bases
![Page 18: The Role of Standard Terminologies in Facilitating Integration](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568148ca550346895db5e596/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What Standards are Out There?
LOINC– Good domain coverage of laboratory– Principled design– Working on hierarchy– Extending to all observations
SNOMED-CT– Merger of SNOMED and Read Clinical Terms– Rich semantics– Principled design– Public domain– Coordination with other terminologies

What Could We Do With Standards?
Summary data reporting
Exchange of information
Automated decision support
Integration with of health information resources

Take Home Message
Standards are hard to do Not much out there Can do neat things if standardized
