Certified Terminology Standards Specialist (CTSS)
The CTSS certification showcases expertise in interoperability.
Interoperability advances the connection amongst health technologies to improve patient safety and care through terminology and digital health standards.
CTSS Professionals are found throughout health care (and beyond)
The CTSS certification is crucial for ensuring interoperability in Canada’s health care system. It equips professionals with the expertise to manage, exchange, and protect health information across various platforms and institutions. By standardizing skills and knowledge, this certification supports seamless data integration and enhances the efficiency and accuracy of health care delivery nationwide.
“I was interested in the political economy of electronic health records (EHRs) and terminology standards represent a critical opportunity for us to connect systems across different programs, specialties, and levels of care to unify the patient chart.”
