1 –Discussion 1 – Interoperability and Vocabulary Mapping
Vocabulary mapping supports the interoperability of health information systems by using controlled vocabularies to increase communication between these systems. Think of a scenario in which two health information systems would need to transmit data to each other. In your response:
-
Identify the two health information systems
-
Give specific examples of ten terms these systems would need to transmit to each other.
-
For each term identify the category (one to one, narrow to broad, broad to narrow or unmappable) that would be used as part of the vocabulary map.
