Making Medicaid Data More Accessible Through Common Data Models and FHIR APIs Resource Development ASPE, FDA NLM This project aims to develop and publish open-source code to format Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS) Research Identifiable File (RIFs) to the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model (CDM) in conjunction with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) formatting to the Sentinel Common Data Model (CDM). Data quality will be characterized using a harmonized Data Quality Assessment Framework for electronic healthcare data that was developed in a previously funded Office of the Secretary Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (OS-PCORTF) project. Lastly, the project will assess the feasibility of using Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) to link Electronic Health Records (EHR) to Transformed Medicaid Statistical Information System (T-MSIS) claims data.
Mapping of the Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine-Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) and International Classification of Disease (ICD) Clinical Terminology Resource Development CDC, IOS NLM The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has set a goal for the nationwide implementation of an interoperable health information technology infrastructure to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare. Achieving this goal will require that key clinical data elements are captured or recorded in detailed, standardized form (using standard vocabularies, codes, and formats) as close to their original sources (patients, healthcare providers, laboratories, diagnostic devices, etc.) as possible. If these standardized clinical data can also be used to generate HIPAA- compliant billing transactions automatically, this will provide another incentive for adoption of clinical data standards. For the automated generation of bills from clinical data to become a reality, robust mappings from standard clinical terminologies to the HIPAA code sets must be created. To support the transition to ICD-10-CM in 2015, a map from SNOMED CT to ICD-10-CM is being created.
