The content coverage of clinical classifications. For The Computer-Based Patient Record Institute's Work Group on Codes & Structures.
Patient conditions and events are the core of patient record content. Computer-based records will require standard vocabularies to represent these data consistently, thereby facilitating clinical decision support, research, and efficient care delivery. To address whether existing major coding systems can serve this function, the authors evaluated major clinical classifications for their content coverage.
