What are the drivers for health terminology standards?
- Increased demands for accessibility of data (e.g., transitions across care, clinical decision support, etc.)
- Expanding clinical priorities to meet the aging population with limited resources
- Currently limited standardization and use of standards for health record content in a coordinated and collaborative manner
- Information sharing is complex and resource intensive, as multiple standards are in use within and across multiple sectors
- Opportunities for enhanced information governance and data governance with increased sharing of digital health information across broader health care organizations and providers
