Terminology Cleanup and Normalization

The use of structured terminology to store clinical data has been relatively limited to date. However many healthcare organizations have been storing information in the computer for years. The data has been stored in the form of free-text or using administrative codes like ICD-9 and CPT. We can help you determine best strategies to the getting value you want from the existing data.

Specifically, we can...

  • Analyze unstructured/semi-structured data and determine best bang-for-the-buck to “clean-up” so that your organization can get the next increment of value from the data

  • Review a proprietary/home-grown terminology for duplication, ambiguities, and inconsistencies and make recommendations for changes.

  • Perform clean-up on user entered data, normalizing to desired terminology
