Health informatics – Terminological resources – Part 1: Characteristics<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
This document defines universal and specialized characteristics of health terminological resources
\nthat make them fit for the purposes required of various applications. It refers only to terminological
\nresources that are primarily designed to be used for clinical concept representation or to those parts of
\nother terminological resources designed to be used for clinical concept representation.
\nThis document helps users to assess whether a terminology has the characteristics or provides
\nthe functions that will support their specified requirements. The focus of this document is to define
\ncharacteristics and functions of terminological resources in healthcare that can be used to identify
\ndifferent types of them for categorization purposes. Clauses 4 and 5 support categorization according
\nto the characteristics and functions of the terminological resources rather than the name.
\nNOTE Categorization of healthcare terminological systems according to the name of the system might not be
\nhelpful and has caused confusion in the past.
\nThe target groups for this document are:
\na) organizations wishing to select terminological systems for use in healthcare information systems;
\nb) developers of terminological systems;
\nc) developers of terminology standards;
\nd) those undertaking independent evaluations\/academic reviews of terminological resources;
\ne) terminology Registration Authorities.
\nThis document contains general characteristics and criteria with which systems can be evaluated.
\nThe following considerations are outside the scope of this document.
\n\u2014 Evaluations of terminological resources.
\n\u2014 Health service requirements for terminological resources and evaluation criteria based on the
\ncharacteristics and functions.
\n\u2014 The nature and quality of mappings between different terminologies. It is unlikely that a single
\nterminology will meet all the terminology requirements of a healthcare organization: some
\nterminology providers produce mappings to administrative or statistical classifications such as the
\nInternational Classification of Diseases (ICD). The presence of such maps would be a consideration
\nin the evaluation of the terminology.
\n\u2014 The nature and quality of mappings between different versions of the same terminology. To support
\ndata migration and historical retrieval, terminology providers can provide maps between versions
\nof their terminology. The presence of such maps would be a consideration in the evaluation of the
\nterminology.
\n\u2014 Terminology server requirements and techniques and tools for terminology developers.
\n\u2014 Characteristics for computational biology terminology. Progress in medical science and in
\nterminology science will necessitate updating of this document in due course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[175],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-160379","product","type-product","status-publish","product_cat-tse","first","instock","purchasable","product-type-simple","entry","content-bg","loop-entry"],"taxonomy_info":{"product_cat":[{"value":175,"label":"TSE"}]},"featured_image_src_large":false,"author_info":[],"comment_info":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/160379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=160379"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=160379"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlinestandart.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=160379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
